    Area of Science:

    • Organic Chemistry
    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Naturally occurring glycosides can possess significant biological activities, including antitumor properties.
    • Fatty acid aglycones are key components of many bioactive glycosides.
    • Understanding the synthesis and activity of these aglycones is crucial for drug discovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize specific fatty acid aglycones, 3,11-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid and 3,12-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid.
    • To evaluate the synthesized compounds for biological activity, particularly antitumor effects.
    • To investigate synthetic pathways and potential chemical rearrangements during the synthesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis initiated from monoethyl esters of nonanedioic and decanedioic acids.

  • Multi-step synthesis involving ketoesters, ketalesters, ketalaldehydes, and ketalhydroxyesters.
  • Biological evaluation using the P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line screen.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful synthesis of 3,11-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid and 3,12-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid.
    • None of the synthesized products or intermediates exhibited inhibitory activity against P388 lymphocytic leukemia.
    • An observed rearrangement of the ethylene glycol ketal-protecting group during the synthetic process.

    Conclusions:

    • The synthesized fatty acid aglycones did not demonstrate significant antitumor activity in the P388 leukemia model.
    • The synthetic route provided insights into the preparation of dihydroxyhexadecanoic acids.
    • The study highlighted a novel ketal protecting group rearrangement, relevant for synthetic organic chemistry.
