Cover Story: With the increase in biodiesel production in recent years, excess production of glycerol is a reality. Glycerol is now a platform chemical that can be transformed into various chemical intermediates, including prodrugs of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, reducing the adverse effects of their chronic administration. Their production by mild esterification with lipases is a possibility, while the development of continuous or flow processes based on multiphase systems in the pharma industry is key for process intensification and product quality. For the first time, we show that the appropriate selection of cosolvents such as glycerol, toluene, and water and of process conditions leads to high stability and activity of the commercial preparation Novozym®435, an immobilised biocatalyst based on lipase B from Candida antarctica.
