Abstract

A new biocatalyst, a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens MTCCB0015, is described, which produces ibuprofen, ketoprofen and flurbiprofen as enantiomerically pure (S)-2- arylpropanoic acids from their corresponding racemic esters. 2-Arylpropanoic acids are an important class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds, whose anti-inflammatory activity is mainly due to the (S)-enantiomer.
