Reaction Steps

To methyl (11R,12S,13E,15S,17R)-9-methyl-11,15-dihydroxy-17,20-dimethyl-7-thiaprosta-8,13-dienoate (41 mg, 0.099 mmol) in acetone (1 mL) was added pH 8 phosphate buffer (10 mL). To this was further added esterase containing solution (derived from pig's liver, made by Sigma Co., 100 μl). This was agitated at room temperature for 15 hours. To the reaction solution was added dilute hydrochloric acid to make the solution pH 4. Further, the solution was made saturated by ammonium sulfate, then the desired product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, then was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, then subjected to thin layer chromotography for separation (development solution: ethyl acetate) to obtain (11R,12S,13E,15S,17R)-9-methyl-11,15-dihydroxy-17,20-dimethyl-7-thiaprosta-8,13-dienoic acid (5.4 mg, 14%).
