Stoll, G. H. published the artcileSynthesis of a metabolically stable modified long-chain fatty acid salt and its photolabile derivative, Category: bromides-buliding-blocks, the main research area is stearate analog heptafluorooctadecanoate salt; fatty acid salt transport; photoaffinity labeling polypeptide sodium azoheptafluorooctadecanoate; critical micellar concentrate heptafluorooctadecanoic acid; diazirine derivative heptafluorooctadecanoate.
An analog of the long-chain fatty acid salt, sodium stearate, was synthesized in which the H atoms at carbons 2, 3, and 18 were replaced by fluorine. The key step in the synthesis was the addition of 3-iodo-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropanoic acid amide to 15,15,15-trifluoro-1-pentadecene. Radioactivity was introduced by catalytic reduction of 2,2,3,3,18,18,18-heptafluoro-4-octadecenoic acid amide with carrier-free tritium gas yielding a product with the specific radioactivity of 2.63 TBq/mmol. The resulting 2,2,3,3,18,18,18-heptafluoro-4-octadecenoic acid has a pKa of about 0.5 and is completely dissociated under normal physiol. conditions. The fluorinated fatty acid salt analog is readily taken up into hepatocytes and proved to be metabolically inert. In an approach to the identification of proteins involved in long-chain fatty acid salt transport across membranes and intracellular compartments, the photolabile derivative 11,11-azo-2,2,3,3,18,18,18-heptafluoro[G-3H]octadecanoic acid sodium salt was synthesized with a specific radioactivity of 2.63 TBq/mmol. Photolysis of the photolabile derivative, using a light source with a maximum emission at 350 nm, occurred with a half-life of 1.5 min. The generated carbene reacted with 14C-labeled MeOH and MeCN with covalent bond formation of 6-13%. Its efficacy for photoaffinity labeling was demonstrated by incorporation into serum albumin, the extracellular fatty acid salt-binding protein, as well as into the intracellular fatty acid salt-binding protein (FABP) of rat liver with mol. weight of 14,000.
