Application 419/DELNP/2004 published 2006-03-10, filed 2004-02-23
A method for the resolution of a mixture of the cis or trans enantiomers of a compound of the formula [insert chemical structure] wherein R1 is -O-C(O)alkyl, -O-C(O)aryl or -O-C(O)cycloalkyl by contacting the mixture with a carboxylic ester hydrolase enzyme which catalyzes the stereoselective hydrolysis of the mixture and the use of such enantiomers to produce antitumor compounds which are especially suitable for oral administration.
