The syntheses of two labeled homologues of (2E,4E,6E)-7-(3,5-di-tert- butylphenyl)-3-methylocta-2,4,6-trienoic acid (ALRT1550, 2), [13CD3]ALRT1550 (3) and [3H]ALRT1550 (4), are described in this report. ALRT1550 is an exceptionally potent antiproliferative agent which is currently in phase I/II clinical trials for acute chemotherapy. Both homologues were prepared from commercially available 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzoic acid. Homologue [13CD3]ALRT1550 was labeled at the 7-position of the trienoic acid chain via addition of [13CD3]MgI to a Weinreb amide precursor. The preparation of [3H]ALRT1550 utilized novel methodology to synthesize a sterically hindered and site-specific tritium-labeled tert- butyl group. Saturation binding and Scatchard analysis of this ligand at the retinoic acid receptors are also described, along with competition binding (K(i)) values for a series of known retinoids using [3H]ALRT1550 or [3H]ATRA as the labeled probes.
