Abstract:

As a commonly used biocatalyst, lipase is widely used in pharmaceutical, food and biochemical applications. However, the application of lipase in enzyme catalysis industry was limited because of its poor stability of free lipase, susceptibility to the environment and poor reusability. In response to the shortcomings of free lipase in the field of catalysis, enzyme immobilization technology was developed. The immobilization of lipases has greatly improved their original catalytic activity and stability and has led to a wider range of industrial applications. The use of immobilized lipases with their own excellent properties selectively catalyses the synthesis of the desired product with mild reaction conditions, high yields and few side reactions. The research and applications of lipase immobilization and its use in pharmaceutical synthesis were reviewed and the future of immobilized lipases was given, which was expected to provide reference for the application of immobilized lipase in industry.

Key words: lipase, immobilization, catalysis, pharmaceutical synthesis
