An improved synthesis for the (Z)-14-methyl-9-pentadecenoic acid and its topoisomerase I inhibitory activity

Abstract: An improved synthesis for the (Z)-14-methyl-9-pentadecenoic acid was developed based on the appropriate use of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene as the key reagent in the synthesis. The reported synthesis started with commercially available 8-bromo-1-octanol and furnished the desired acid in seven steps and in a 16% overall yield, a significant improvement over the previous reported synthesis for this fatty acid. The synthesis reported herein afforded sufficient amounts to study the acid topoisomerase I inhibitory pot… Show more

“…Terminal alkynes with various substituents were easily available, unless deprotection of the TMS group of some substituted ethynyl­trimethylsilane ( 3a – c ) was failed due to the volatile nature or side reactions. To solve this problem, tetrabutyl­ammonium fluoride trihydrate (TBAF·3H 2 O) was added to the Sonogashira coupling reaction system to achieve the “one-pot” method …”

“…Cis-MUFA (C14–C22) have been shown to inhibit the enzyme topoisomerase I, a key enzyme in the breakdown and repair of DNA strands. The enzyme is necessary for topological changes in DNA for key cellular processes (replication, transcription, recombination) [ 57 ]. It seems that the decrease in C15:1 observed in the AKG group, a known bacterial FA, cannot be considered beneficial.…”

“…284 (Z)-14-Methyl-9-pentadecenoic acid, a metabolite of terrestrial 285 and marine bacteria 286 and of sponges, 287 was an inhibitor of human placental DNA topoisomerase I. 288 The known marine microbial metabolites, asperflavin 289,290 and tetrahydroauroclaucin 291 exhibited cytotoxicity against sex cells of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius, 292 while the ubiquitous dinoflagellate carotenoid peridinin 293 induced apoptosis in apoptotic DLD-1 human colorectal cancer cells by activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9. 294 Pitipeptolide A from the cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula from Guam 295 was a feeding deterrent to urchins, two species of amphipods and small herbivorous crabs, 296 while lingshuiol, a polyhydroxy metabolite of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp., 297 exhibited potent membrane-permeabilising effects.…”
