Abstract
The present study aims at understanding the effect of organic solvents on the specific proteolytic activity and operational stability of asclepain cI in aqueous-organic media, using correlations between geometrical and structural parameters of asclepain cI. These correlations were determined by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the secondary structure of the enzyme validated by Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Asclepain cI exhibited significantly higher catalytic potential in 29 of the 42 aqueous-organic media tested, composed by 0.1 mM TRIS hydrochloride buffer pH 8 (TCB) and an organic solvent, than in buffer alone. Asclepain cI in water-organic miscible systems showed high FTIR spectral similarity with that obtained in TCB, while in immiscible systems the enzyme acquired different secondary structures than in buffer. Among the conditions studied, asclepain cI showed the highest catalytic potential in 50% v/v ethyl acetate in TCB. According to MD simulations, that medium elicited solvation and flexibility changes around the active center of asclepain cI and conducted to a new secondary structure with the active center preserved. These results provide valuable insights into the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of asclepain cI tolerance to organic solvents and pave the way for its future application for the synthesis of peptides in aqueous-organic media.

Abstract
Microbial cell factories, renowned for their economic and environmental benefits, have emerged as a key trend in academic and industrial areas, particularly in the fermentation of natural compounds. Among these, plant-derived terpenes stand out as a significant class of bioactive natural products. The large-scale production of such terpenes, exemplified by artemisinic acid-a crucial precursor to artemisinin-is now feasible through microbial cell factories. In the fermentation of terpenes, two-phase fermentation technology has been widely applied due to its unique advantages. It facilitates in situ product extraction or adsorption, effectively mitigating the detrimental impact of product accumulation on microbial cells, thereby significantly bolstering the efficiency of microbial production of plant-derived terpenes. This paper reviews the latest developments in two-phase fermentation system applications, focusing on microbial fermentation of plant-derived terpenes. It also discusses the mechanisms influencing microbial biosynthesis of terpenes. Moreover, we introduce some new two-phase fermentation techniques, currently unexplored in terpene fermentation, with the aim of providing more thoughts and explorations on the future applications of two-phase fermentation technology. Lastly, we discuss several challenges in the industrial application of two-phase fermentation systems, especially in downstream processing.

Production of (hydroxy)benzoate-derived polyketides by engineered Pseudomonas with in situ extraction. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 388:129741.

Abstract
Polyketides from (hydroxy)benzoates are an interesting group of plant polyphenolic compounds, whose biotechnological production is so far underrepresented due to their challenging heterologous biosynthesis. Efficient heterologous production of 2,4,6-tri- and 2,3',4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 3,5-dihydroxybiphenyl, and 4-hydroxycoumarin by whole-cell biocatalysis in combination with in situ product extraction with an organic solvent was demonstrated. Production was highly dependent on the used CoA ligase and polyketide synthase type III. Therefore, different combinations of polyketide synthases and benzoate-CoA ligases were evaluated for their biosynthesis performance in the solvent-tolerant Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120. A solvent screening yielded 2-undecanone as biocompatible, extraction-efficient solvent with good phase separation. In aqueous-organic two-phase cultivations, this solvent extraction circumvents product instability in the aqueous cultivation medium, and it increases yields by reducing inhibitory effects. Complete de novo synthesis from glucose of all (hydroxy)benzoate-derived polyketides was achieved in two-phase cultivations with metabolically engineered strains. Additionally, mutasynthesis was applied to obtain fluorinated benzophenone derivatives.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:13419-13429.

Abstract
Sugar nucleotide-dependent glycosyltransferases are powerful catalysts of the glycosylation of natural products and xenobiotics. The low solubility of the aglycone substrate often limits the synthetic efficiency of the transformation catalyzed. Here, we explored different approaches of solvent engineering for reaction intensification of β-glycosylation of 15HCM (a C15-hydroxylated, plant detoxification metabolite of the herbicide cinmethylin) catalyzed by safflower UGT71E5 using UDP-glucose as the donor substrate. Use of a cosolvent (DMSO, ethanol, and acetonitrile; ≤50 vol %) or a water-immiscible solvent (n-dodecane, n-heptane, n-hexane, and 1-hexene) was ineffective due to enzyme activity and stability, both impaired ≥10-fold compared to a pure aqueous solvent. Complexation in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin enabled dissolution of 50 mM 15HCM while retaining the UGT71E5 activity (∼0.32 U/mg) and stability. Using UDP-glucose recycling, 15HCM was converted completely, and 15HCM β-d-glucoside was isolated in 90% yield (∼150 mg). Collectively, this study highlights the requirement for a mild, enzyme-compatible strategy for aglycone solubility enhancement in glycosyltransferase catalysis applied to glycoside synthesis.

Efficient snailase-based production of mogrol from Luo Han Guo extract in an aqueous-organic system. Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 165:110212.

Abstract
To solve the insufficient availability of mogrol, an 11α-hydroxy aglycone of mogrosides in Siraitia grosvenorii, snailase was employed as the enzyme to completely deglycosylate LHG extract containing 50% mogroside V. Other commonly used glycosidases performed less efficiently. Response surface methodology was conducted to optimize the productivity of mogrol, which peaked at 74.7% in an aqueous reaction. In view of the differences in water-solubility between mogrol and LHG extract, we employed an aqueous-organic system for the snailase-catalyzed reaction. Of five tested organic solvents, toluene performed best and was relatively well tolerated by snailase. After optimization, biphasic medium containing 30% toluene (v/v) could produce a high-quality mogrol (98.1% purity) at a 0.5 L scale with a production rate of 93.2% within 20 h. This toluene-aqueous biphasic system would not only provide sufficient mogrol to construct future synthetic biology systems for the preparation of mogrosides, but also facilitate the development of mogrol-based medicines.

Abstract
Mycobacterium sp. can convert steroids such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, and cholesterol, by selective side-chain cleavage and oxidation of the C3 hydroxyl group to a ketone, into key intermediates that can be easily functionalized to yield commercially interesting pharmaceutical products. In aqueous systems, the biocatalysis is limited by the low solubility of the steroids in water. Several strategies have been introduced to tackle this limitation, e.g., formation of cyclodextrin-steroid complexes and generation of aqueous microdispersions with steroid particle size in the range of hundreds of nanometers. Still, the introduction of an organic phase acting as a substrate and/or product reservoir is a well-established and relatively easy to implement strategy to overcome the sparing water solubility of steroid molecules. However, the organic phase has to be carefully chosen to prevent tampering with the activity/viability of microbial cells.In this chapter, we describe the methodology for the biocatalysis of β-sitosterol to 4-androstene-3,17-dione (AD) and 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD), both in aqueous and organic:aqueous systems. In the latter case, both traditional organic solvents and green solvents are proposed.

Aqueous Two-Phase Systems Based on Ionic Liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents as a Tool for the Recovery of Non-Protein Bioactive Compounds—A Review. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) based on ionic liquids (IL) and deep eutectic solvents (DES) are ecofriendly choices and can be used to selectively separate compounds of interest, such as bioactive compounds. Bioactive compounds are nutrients and nonnutrients of animal, plant, and microbial origin that benefit the human body in addition to their classic nutritional properties. They can also be used for technical purposes in food and as active components in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Because they are usually present in complex matrices and low concentrations, it is necessary to separate them in order to increase their availability and stability, and ATPS is a highlighted technique for this purpose. This review demonstrates the application of ATPS based on IL and DES as a tool for recovering nonprotein bioactive compounds, considering critical factors, results and the most recent advances in this field. In addition, the review emphasizes the perspectives for expanding the use of nonconventional ATPS in purification systems, which consider the use of molecular modelling to predict experimental conditions, the investigation of diverse compounds in phase-forming systems, the establishment of optimal operational parameters, and the verification of bioactivities after the purification process.

Abstract
Aqueous two-phase system(s) (ATPS) has/have been widely employed in the extraction and separation of bioactive molecules from herbs due to its various advantages such as high efficiency and good selectivity. For selecting the type and amount of organics and salts in ATPS, onerous experimental trials are required to ensure the reliability. We intended to develop a theoretical method to select ATPS in the case of paeonol extraction from cortex moutan. The solvation free energies (E solv) of paeonol in the top phase of 54 ATPS (ATPS-acetone, ATPS-acetone-EA, ATPS-THF, ATPS-THF-EA, ATPS-EtOH, and ATPS-EtOH-EA) were calculated with Gaussian 09, and the extraction yields with 54 ATPS were determined. By comparison of E solv and yield, the E solv rank was effective to select the optimal organic type and organic solvent fraction and aqueous salt concentration. With each series of 18 ATPS (ATPS-acetone plus ATPS-acetone-EA; ATPS-THF plus ATPS-THF-EA; or ATPS-EtOH plus ATPS-EtOH-EA), the paeonol yield was correlated with E solv, suggesting that the optimal organic type and fraction and the aqueous NaH2PO4 concentration could be selected by using theoretical E solv, or at least, the theoretical E solv rank could offer effective guidance for experimental design, and thus, tedious and onerous experimental work for optimization in ATPS extraction can be significantly reduced.

Abstract
Biocatalytic cascades play a fundamental role in sustainable chemical synthesis. Fusion enzymes are one of the powerful toolboxes to enable the tailored combination of multiple enzymes for efficient cooperative cascades. Especially, this approach offers a substantial potential for the practical application of cofactor-dependent oxidoreductases by forming cofactor self-sufficient cascades. Adequate cofactor recycling while keeping the oxidized/reduced cofactor in a confined microenvironment benefits from the fusion fashion and makes the use of oxidoreductases in harsh non-aqueous media practical. In this mini-review, we have summarized the application of various fusion enzymes in aqueous and non-aqueous media with a focus on the discussion of linker design within oxidoreductases. The design and properties of the reported linkers have been reviewed in detail. Besides, the substrate loadings in these studies have been listed to showcase one of the key limitations (low solubility of hydrophobic substrates) of aqueous biocatalysis when it comes to efficiency and economic feasibility. Therefore, a straightforward strategy of applying non-aqueous media has been briefly discussed while the potential of using the fusion oxidoreductase of interest in organic media was highlighted.

Abstract
The ocean is an excellent source for new biocatalysts due to the tremendous genetic diversity of marine microorganisms, and it may contribute to the development of sustainable industrial processes. A marine bacterium was isolated and selected for the conversion of benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol, which is an important chemical employed as a precursor for producing esters for cosmetics and other industries. Enzymatic production routes are of interest for sustainable processes. To overcome benzaldehyde low water solubility, DMSO was used as a biocompatible cosolvent up to a concentration of 10% (v/v). A two-phase system with n-hexane, n-heptane, or n-hexadecane as organic phase allowed at least a 44% higher relative conversion of benzaldehyde than the aqueous system, and allowed higher initial substrate concentrations. Cell performance decreased with increasing product concentration but immobilization of cells in alginate improved four-fold the robustness of the biocatalyst: free and immobilized cells were inhibited at concentrations of benzyl alcohol of 5 and 20 mM, respectively. Scaling up to a 100 mL stirred reactor, using a fed-batch approach, enabled a 1.5-fold increase in benzyl alcohol productivity when compared with batch mode. However, product accumulation in the reactor hindered the conversion. The use of a continuous flow reactor packed with immobilized cells enabled a 9.5-fold increase in productivity when compared with the fed-batch stirred reactor system.

Abstract
Although water is an ideal green solvent for organic synthesis, it is difficult for most biocatalysts to carry out transesterification reactions in water because of the reversible hydrolysis reaction. 3D structural characteristics and the microenvironment of an enzyme has an important effect on its selectivity for the transesterification reaction over the hydrolysis reaction. A novel 2-phenethyl acetate synthesis technology was developed using acyltransferase (EC 3.1.1.2) from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) in water. Firstly, MsAcT was entrapped in a tetramethoxysilane gel network and the immobilization process of MsAcT increased its selectivity for the transesterification reaction over the hydrolysis reaction by 6.33-fold. Then, the synthesis technology of 2-phenethyl acetate using the immobilized MsAcT in water was optimized as follows: vinyl acetate was used as acyl donor, the molar ratio of vinyl acetate to 2-phenylethyl alcohol was 2 : 1, and the water content was 80% (w/w). The reaction was carried out at 40 °C for 30 min and conversion rate reached 99.17%. The immobilized MsAcT could be recycled for 10 batches. The synthesis method of 2-phenethyl acetate using MsAcT as a biocatalyst in water is a prospective green process technology. Although water is an ideal green solvent for organic synthesis, it is difficult for most biocatalysts to carry out transesterification reactions in water because of the reversible hydrolysis reaction.![]()

Abstract
This Perspective discusses the literature related to two-phase biocatalysis in microfluidic droplets. Enzymes used as catalysts in biocatalysis are generally less stable in organic media than in their native aqueous environments; however, chemical and pharmaceutical compounds are often insoluble in water. The use of aqueous/organic two-phase media provides a solution to this problem and has therefore become standard practice for multiple biotransformations. In batch, two-phase biocatalysis is limited by mass transport, a limitation that can be overcome with the use of microfluidic systems. Although, two-phase biocatalysis in laminar flow systems has been extensively studied, microfluidic droplets have been primarily used for enzyme screening. In this Perspective, we summarize the limited published work on two-phase biocatalysis in microfluidic droplets and discuss the limitations, challenges, and future perspectives of this technology.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Solvents are important in most industrial and domestic applications. The impact of solvent losses and emissions drives efforts to minimise them or to avoid them completely. Since the 1990s, this has become a major focus of green chemistry, giving rise to the idea of the 'green' solvent. This concept has generated a substantial chemical literature and has led to the development of so-called neoteric solvents. A critical overview of published material establishes that few new materials have yet found widespread use as solvents. The search for less-impacting solvents is inefficient if carried out without due regard, even at the research stage, to the particular circumstances under which solvents are to be used on the industrial scale. Wider sustainability questions, particularly the use of non-fossil sources of organic carbon in solvent manufacture, are more important than intrinsic 'greenness'. While solvency is universal, a universal solvent, an alkahest, is an unattainable ideal.

Abstract
Selecting an appropriate separation technique is essential for the application of in situ product removal (ISPR) technology in biological processes. In this work, a three-stage systematic design method is proposed as a guide to integrate ionic liquid (IL)-based separation techniques into ISPR. This design method combines the selection of a suitable ISPR processing scheme, the optimal design of an IL-based liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) system followed by process simulation and evaluation. As a proof of concept, results for a conventional acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation are presented (40,000 ton/year butanol production). In this application, ILs tetradecyl(trihexyl)phosphonium tetracyanoborate ([TDPh][TCB]) and tetraoctylammonium 2-methyl-1-naphthoate ([TOA] [MNaph]) are identified as the optimal solvents from computer-aided IL design (CAILD) method and reported experimental data, respectively. The dynamic simulation results for the fermentation process show that, the productivity of IL-based in situ (fed-batch) process and in situ (batch) process is around 2.7 and 1.8fold that of base case. Additionally, the IL-based in situ (fed-batch) process and in situ (batch) process also have significant energy savings (79.6% and 77.6%) when compared to the base case.

Abstract
This work aims to synthesize S-(4-chlorophenyl)-(pyridin-2-yl) methanol (S-CPMA) in a green, economic, and efficient way. In the water-cyclohexane liquid-liquid system, recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used as a whole-cell catalyst and retained > 60% of its catalytic activity after five reuse cycles. In situ accumulation of the substrate/product in the organic phase effectively improves substrate tolerance and reduces product inhibition and toxicity. Meanwhile, a microreaction system consisting of membrane dispersion and three-dimensional (3D) bending-microchannel was developed to successfully generate droplet swarms with an average diameter of 30 μm. Large specific surface area provided high mass transfer efficiency between phases. While the analogous reaction in a traditional stirred tank required > 270 min to achieve a yield of > 99%, in this biphasic microreaction system, the yield reached 99.6% with a high enantiomeric excess (ee) of > 99% in only 80 min. Efficient synthesis was achieved by reducing the time by 70%.

Abstract
In nature, enzymes conventionally operate under aqueous conditions. Because of this, aqueous buffers are often the choice for reaction media when enzymes are applied in chemical synthesis. However, to meet the demands of an industrial application, due to the poor water solubility of many industrially relevant compounds, an aqueous reaction system will often not be able to provide sufficient substrate loadings. A switch to a non-aqueous solvent system can provide a solution, which is already common for lipases, but more challenging for biocatalysts from other enzyme classes. The choices in solvent types and systems, however, can be overwhelming. Furthermore, some engineering of the protein structure of biocatalyst formulation is required. In this review, a guide for those working with biocatalysts, who look for a way to increase their reaction productivity, is presented. Examples reported clearly show that bulk water is not necessarily required for biocatalytic reactions and that clever solvent systems design can support increased product concentrations thereby decreasing waste formation. Additionally, under these conditions, enzymes can also be combined in cascades with other, water-sensitive, chemical catalysts. Finally, we show that the application of non-aqueous solvents in biocatalysis can actually lead to more sustainable processes. At the hand of flowcharts, following simple questions, one can quickly find what solvent systems are viable.

Abstract
Cascade reactions are the basis of life in nature and are adapted to research and industry in an increasing manner. The focus of this study is the production of the high-value aromatic ester cinnamyl cinnamate, which can be applied in flavors and fragrances. A three-enzyme cascade was established to realize the synthesis, starting from the corresponding aldehyde with in situ cofactor regeneration in a two-phase system. After characterization of the enzymes, a screening with different organic solvents was carried out, whereby xylene was found to be the most suitable solvent for the second phase. The reaction stability of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii is the limiting step during cofactor regeneration. However, the applied enzyme cascade showed an overall yield of 54%. After successful application on lab scale, the limitation by the FDH was overcome by immobilization of the enzymes and an optimized downstream process, transferring the cascade into a miniplant. The upscaling resulted in an increased yield for the esterification, as well as overall yields of 37%.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in biocatalysis to perform chemical reactions in biphasic systems, consisting of an aqueous phase and a water-immiscible organic solvent or ionic liquid. In most cases, the hydrophobic phase is used as reservoir for poorly water-soluble substrates or for in situ product removal. However, many enzymes are solvent-sensitive and cannot be used in such systems. In this study, the solvent-sensitive enzyme mandelate racemase is exemplarily protected from the organic phase by its entrapment in (crosslinked) polymersomes. The covalent crosslinking of the individual chains of the block copolymer poly(2-methyloxazoline)15 -poly(dimethylsiloxane)68 -poly(2-methyloxazoline)15 via terminal methacrylates leads to enhanced membrane stability. This effect is especially pronounced for long-time incubation in the presence of organic solvents and ionic liquids. By using a gentle polymerization initiator at its minimal necessary concentration, the prior encapsulated enzymes remain intact during crosslinking. Although the insertion of natural channel proteins into the membrane improves the mass transport into the vesicles, it is non-essential. Mandelate racemase in (crosslinked) polymersomes remains active in different highly dispersed biphasic systems for more than 24 h. The free enzyme, on the other hand, gets completely inactivated within 1 h, thus illustrating the potential of polymersomes as nanoreactors in biphasic reaction setups.

Abstract
Rare ginsenoside CK was recognized as a popular functional food because of superior pharmacological activity, but it is restricted by further applications by the difficulty in preparation. In this study, deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was established to transform and extract ginsenoside CK in situ for the first time. The phase formation conditions for preparing ATPS using choline chloride-based DES were studied, and the optimal conditions for extractive bioconversion were explored using conventional single-factor experiments. The conditions for ATPS establishment were as follows: 31.9% (w/w) DES (ChCl-ethylene glycol)/24.5% (w/w) K2HPO4, 55 °C, pH 5.0. Under the optimal conditions, 75.79% product and 61.14% β-glucosidase were recovered from the top and bottom phase, respectively. In addition, DES and β-glucosidase can be recovered and recycled again for the next extractive bioconversion of CK. These results indicated that this green and efficient method exhibited considerable value in integrated production and extraction processes, and demonstrated the potential for obtaining highly recycled functional foods and similar products.

J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 47:449-464. [PMID: 32507955 DOI: 10.1007/s10295-020-02283-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes catalyse reactions of significant industrial interest but are underutilised in large-scale bioprocesses due to enzyme stability, cofactor requirements and the poor aqueous solubility and microbial toxicity of typical substrates and products. In this work, we investigate the potential for preparative-scale N-demethylation of the opium poppy alkaloid noscapine by a P450BM3 (CYP102A1) mutant enzyme in a whole-cell biotransformation system. We identify and address several common limitations of whole-cell P450 biotransformations using this model N-demethylation process. Mass transfer into Escherichia coli cells was found to be a major limitation of biotransformation rate and an alternative Gram-positive expression host Bacillus megaterium provided a 25-fold improvement in specific initial rate. Two methods were investigated to address poor substrate solubility. First, a biphasic biotransformation system was developed by systematic selection of potentially biocompatible solvents and in silico solubility modelling using Hansen solubility parameters. The best-performing biphasic system gave a 2.3-fold improvement in final product titre compared to a single-phase system but had slower initial rates of biotransformation due to low substrate concentration in the aqueous phase. The second strategy aimed to improve aqueous substrate solubility using cyclodextrin and hydrophilic polymers. This approach provided a fivefold improvement in initial biotransformation rate and allowed a sixfold increase in final product concentration. Enzyme stability and cell viability were identified as the next parameters requiring optimisation to improve productivity. The approaches used are also applicable to the development of other pharmaceutical P450-mediated biotransformations.

Abstract
Combining biological and small-molecule catalysts under a chemoenzymatic manifold presents a series of significant advantages to the synthetic community. We report herein the successful development of a two-step/single flask synthesis of γ-lactones through the merger of Umpolung catalysis with a ketoreductase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution, reduction, and cyclization. This combined approach delivers highly enantio- and diastereoenriched heterocycles and demonstrates the feasibility of integrating NHC catalysis with enzymatic processes.

Abstract
The compound 4-vinyl guaiacol (4-VG) is highly valued and widely applied in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The bioproduction of 4-VG from ferulic acid (FA) by non-oxidative decarboxylation using phenolic acid decarboxylases is promising but has been hampered by low conversion yields and final product concentrations due to the toxicities of 4-VG and FA. In the current study, a new phenolic acid decarboxylase (BaPAD) was characterized from Bacillus atrophaeus. The BaPAD possessed excellent catalytic activity and stability in various organic solvents. Whole Escherichia coli cells harboring intracellular BaPAD exhibited greater tolerances to FA and 4-VG than those of free BaPAD. A highly efficient aqueous-organic biphasic system was established using 1-octanol as the optimal organic phase for whole-cell catalysis. In this system, a very high concentration (1580 mM, 237.3 g/L) of 4-VG was achieved in a 2 L working volume bioreactor, and the molar conversion yield and productivity reached 98.9% and 18.3 g/L/h in 13 h, respectively.

Abstract
Detached leaves of Posidonia oceanica and Zostera marina creating nuisance at the shores were extracted by means of supercritical CO2 enriched with a co-solvent, compared with that of soxhlet extraction. The extracts and their active compounds which are phenylpropanoids (chicoric, p-coumaric, rosmarinic, benzoic, ferulic and caffeic acids) were screened for cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines including human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3), human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29), human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa), human prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3), Mus musculus neuroblastoma (Neuro 2A) cell lines and African green monkey kidney (VERO) as healthy cell line. Supercritical CO2 extracts proved to be more active than soxhlet counterparts. Particularly, Zostera marina extract obtained by supercritical CO2 at 250 bar, 80 °C, 20% co-solvent and a total flow rate of 15 g/min revealed the best IC50 values of 25, 20, 8 μg/ml in neuroblastoma, colon and cervix cancer cell lines. Among the major compounds tested, p-coumaric acid exhibited the highest cytotoxic against colon and cervix cell lines by with IC50 values of 25, 11 μg/ml. As for the effects on healthy cells, the extract was not cytotoxic indicating a selective cytotoxicity. Obtained supercritical CO2 extracts can be utilized as a supplement for preventive purposes.
