The hydrolysis was studied of potassium (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate by two analogous, optically stereospecific, secondary alkylsulphohydrolases purified from two detergent-degrading micro-organisms, Comamonas terrigena and Pseudomonas C12B. Polarimetry studies have shown that (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate prepared from (+)-octan-2-ol is hydrolysed by both enzymes to yield (-)-octan-2-ol. This inversion of configuration implies that the enzymes are catalysing the scission of the C-O bond of the C-O-S linkage, a type of bond scission apparently not hitherto encountered among hydrolytic enzymes acting on ester bonds. Enzymic hydrolysis of potassium (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate in the presence of H218O and analysis of hydrolysis products for the presence of 18O has confirmed that C-O bond scission (and not O-S bond scission) occurs with both enzymes.

To better understand lipid-based implants applied to proteins, lysozyme was used as a model protein and was loaded into lipid-based implants in different contents. Cylindrical and spherical implants loaded with lysozyme presented a smooth surface. Protein loading efficiency decreased with increasing lysozyme loading. Lysozyme kept its activity after different implant preparation techniques. Drug release tremendously increased by increasing protein loading from 8.9 to 13.7% (w/w), for cylindrical implants. Lysozyme release was faster from cylindrical implants when compared with the spherical ones. Furthermore, by increasing the hydrophobicity of the lipid, protein release decreased. This study demonstrates the potential use of lipid-based implants for the controlled release of proteins.

Unmodified, cyanoethylated, and crosslinked corn starches were reacted with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetyl chloride in pyridine to produce the corresponding 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid]esters of high acyl content. Hydrolysis studies at pH 6 and 8 at ambient temperature showed that these insoluble compositions liberated varying amounts of 2,4-D and soluble 2,4-D esters by ester link and glucoside bond cleavage, respectively, at rates that indicate their possible use as controlled-release herbicides.

Polymeric microneedles (MNs) have emerged as a novel class of drug delivery system thanks to their ability in penetrating the skin with no pain, encapsulate active proteins and in particular, proposed bicompartimental MNs can tune protein release.
