Toxic fluorine compounds. The use of the ω-fluorine atom in the study of the metabolism of fatty acids containing ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl branches

Abstract: 1. Some omega-fluoroalkanoic acids containing a branched ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl group in the alpha- or beta-position have been prepared. 2. A study of the toxicity of these acids revealed that the ethyl group partially inhibited, and the n-propyl and isopropyl groups completely inhibited, the normal processes of oxidative degradation.

“…Unfortunately, the half-life of these analogs in mice is short (<1 h) as alkyl moieties are susceptible to ω-oxidation (Table ). To circumvent this issue, fluorine groups were added to potentially enhance the metabolic stability . Interestingly, with the exception of 12bm and 12bu , the combination of halogens and alkyl groups ( 12bn – 12br and 12bt ) led to poor activity similar to the fluorinated alkoxy analogs.…”
