A 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative represented by formula (I): STR1 wherein X represents an alkyl group, or a group of STR2 in which R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a nitrile group, or a trifluoromethyl group; R4 represents a substituted or unsubstituted acyloxymethyl group, an alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl group, a (2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4 -yl)methyl group, a (5-substituted-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4 -yl)methyl group, or an acyl group; R5 represents a lower alkyl group or a substituted alkyl group; and R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkoxymethyl group, or a lower acyloxymethyl group, is disclosed. The compound is stereospecifically hydrolyzed by the action of an enzyme to provide an optically active 1,4-dihydro -3-pyridinemonocarboxylic acid which is useful as an intermediate of pharmaceuticals in good optical purity and yield.
