The performance of a new NADP‐regeneration system, based on the use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)‐acetone, has been investigated for the regioselective oxidation of cholic acid ( 1 ) to 12‐ketochenodeoxycholic acid ( 2 ). Enzymes stabilities and substrate and/or product inhibitory effects under defined synthetic reaction conditions have been evaluated. The optimized system, based on a 4% w/v solution of 1 in a reaction mixture containing 25% v/v acetone, allowed the preparative scale transformation of 1 into 2 with a 92% conversion. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, inc.
