Screening of plant peptidases for the synthesis of arginine-based surfactants

Partially purified preparations with proteolytic activity, obtained from South American native plants, were used as biocatalysts in condensation reactions of N-protected arginine alkyl ester derivatives with decylamine and dodecylamine in low-water content systems. The final products are cationic su...

The final products are cationic surfactants with potential application as emulsifiers and preservatives.

Araujiain and funastrain furnished good reaction conversions (60–84%, with a ratio synthesis/hydrolysis of 2–5) similar to those obtained with commercial papain. Moreover, araujiain was the biocatalyst which rendered the best conversions (60%) for the synthesis of the two novel Bz-Arg-NH-dodecylamide (Bz-Arg-NHC₁₂) and Bz-Arg-NH-decylamide (Bz-Arg-NHC₁₀) derivatives. Moderate to poor conversions (10–50%, showing a ratio synthesis/hydrolysis of 0.5–1) were achieved with asclepain c, hieronymain and bromelain. The screening presented in this work revealed that, although these are structurally similar, their behavior for the synthesis of this kind of products differ among them.
