In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved pregabalin for adjunctive therapy for adults with partial onset seizures, management of postherpetic neuralgia andneuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and the treatment of fibromyalgia. Pregabalin has also been approved in the European Union and Russia(but not in US) for treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.

is also known as γ-amino butyric acid or (S)-3-isobutyl GABA. (S)-Pregabalin, marketed under the name LYRICA®, has been found to activate GAD (L-glutamic acid decarboxylase). (S)-Pregabalin has a dose dependent protective effect on-seizure, and is a CNS-active compound. (S)-Pregabalin is useful in anticonvulsant therapy, due to its activation of GAD, promoting the production of GABA, one of the brain’s major inhibitory neurotransmitters, which is released at 30 percent of the brains synapses. (S)-Pregabalin has analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic activity.
and its analogues. For example, see H. Li, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 126(32), 9906-07 (2004). These catalysts are easily accessible from either quinine or quinidine, and are reportedly highly efficient for a synthetically C-C bond forming asymmetric conjugate addition as shown in scheme 5.
fruits from Rosaceae family (Genus: Prunus). The collected fruits are peach (Prunus persica), Himalayan wild cherry (Prunus avium), Red Indian plum (Prunusdomestica), Himalayan plum (Prunus americana), apricot (Prunus armeniaca) and shakarpara (white apricot, a hybrid cultivar of normal apricot found in Nepal and India). All the six newly found HNLs are R-selective, i.e., they yield R-mandelonitrile from benzaldehyde bySi-facial attack of the cyanide anion. The enantioselectivity obtained for the formation of mandelonitriles by all the six HNLs are in the range of 60-93%. The best results are obtained with PavHNL and ParsHNL (both provide 93% ee), where as PpHNL is the least enantioselective (provides 60% ee for R-mandelonitrile formation). The main object of the project proposal will be the development of efficient biocatalytic route for various value added products such as Pregablin, Baclofen and Pril drugs
