Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of cephalexin with the aid of a penicillin amidase immobilized on a pearl-shaped, cross-linked hydrophilic copolymer which is active against ligands with nucleophilic groups.
- beta-lactam residue beta-lactam nucleus
- an activated side chain such as an amide or an ester
- penicillin acylase penicillin amidase
- the enzyme is usually bound to a solid, water-insoluble carrier and then brought into contact with the beta-lactam nucleus and the activated side chain in aqueous solution.
- a disadvantage of the previously disclosed processes is the fact that the ratio of the synthesis of the desired compound by the enzyme to the hydrolysis of the activated side chain to worthless side chain acids and also to the hydrolysis of the desired product, the so-called S / H value, is often unfavorable , and difficult economic production.
- WO97 / 04086 discloses a penicillin amidase from E. coli which is immobilized on a carrier material composed of a swelling agent and a polymer with free amino groups, and the use thereof for the preparation of beta-lactam derivatives.
- the disclosed process for the preparation of cephalexin has the disadvantage that the beta-lactam nucleus 7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) is used in a three-fold molar excess to the activated side chain D-phenylglycinamide (PGA).
- beta-lactam core If excess stoichiometric amounts of beta-lactam core are used, the core must be recycled on an industrial scale in order to be able to work economically. This is expensive and leads to losses in yield. In addition, this fact also leads to contamination in the product, since the core is unstable.
- EP 0 730 035 also teaches the production of cephalexin on a specific support in acceptable yields.
- the grain size of the carrier material used is only 60-80 ⁇ m. This is of great disadvantage for technical applications. Chromatography columns packed with such material have only a low flow rate.
- a carrier material for enzymes is described in DE 198 04 518. It is mentioned that the material can be used for the enzymatic Synthesis of amoxycillin and ampicillin. A suitability for the synthesis of cephalexin by means of immobilized penicillin amidase is not mentioned.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide an improved process for the synthesis of cephalexin which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above.
- this method should enable the realization of a favorable S / H value.

- the process according to the invention enables the synthesis of cephalexin with a favorable S / H ratio (synthesis / hydrolysis). It is advantageous that this is achieved using a carrier material with particle sizes in the range from 50 to 500 ⁇ m, in particular from 120 to 250 ⁇ m. This results in better application properties, e.g. B. higher flow rates in fixed bed reactors. Better space-time yields result from the higher flow rates.
- the larger carrier particles also offer advantages in batch processes because they can be filtered off more quickly. This in turn increases the space-time yield and thus the economics of the process.

The wet weight of the beads loaded with penicillin acylase is determined.
- the polymer beads are then obtained as in a) through a glass frit by sucking through 20 ml of 0.05 M potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.5, containing 0.05% ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, and the measurement is repeated twice.
- the linear range of the measurement curves (usually the range of 1 - 5 min) is used for the calculation and extrapolated to a 10 min interval.
- the binding capacity is given as penicillin amidase units per g wet carrier polymer material (U / g wet). One unit corresponds to one ⁇ mol hydrolyzed penicillin G per minute ( ⁇ mol / min); 1 I 0.5M NaOH is equivalent to 500 ⁇ mol hydrolyzed penicillin G. (The water content of the carrier polymer material is approximately constant and can therefore be neglected.)
