Fatty acid oxidation (FAO) produces most of the ATP used to sustain the cardiac contractile work, although glycolysis is a secondary source of ATP under normal physiological conditions. FAO impairment has been reported in the advanced stages of heart failure (HF) and is strongly linked to disease progression and severity. Thus, from a clinical perspective, FAO dysregulation provides prognostic value for HF progression, the assessment of which could be used to improve patient monitoring and the effectiveness of therapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging represents a powerful tool for the assessment and quantification of metabolic pathways in vivo. Several FAO PET tracers have been reported in the literature, but none of them is in routine clinical use yet. Metabolically trapped tracers are particularly interesting because they undergo FAO to generate a radioactive metabolite that is subsequently trapped in the mitochondria, thus providing a quantitative means of measuring FAO in vivo. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, tritium labelling and radiofluorination of 4,4,16-trifluoro-palmitate (1) as a novel potential metabolically trapped FAO tracer. Preliminary PET-CT studies on [18F]1 in rats showed rapid blood clearance, good metabolic stability – confirmed by using [3H]1 in vitro – and resistance towards defluorination. However, cardiac uptake in rats was modest (0.24±0.04 % ID/g), and kinetic analysis showed reversible uptake, thus indicating that [18F]1 is not irreversibly trapped.

The first total syntheses of two marine natural products, (R)-strongylodiols C and D, with 99% ee were achieved. The key steps of the strategy include the zipper reaction of an alkyne, the asymmetric alkynylation of an unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde catalyzed with Trost's ProPhenol ligand, and the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling reaction of a chiral propargylic alcohol with a bromoalkyne.

The first total synthesis for the (Z)-16-methyl-11-heptadecenoic acid, a novel fatty acid from the sponge Dragmaxia undata, was accomplished in seven steps and in a 44% overall yield. The use of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene was key in the synthesis. Based on a previous developed strategy in our laboratory the best synthetic route towards the title compound was first acetylide coupling of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene to the long-chain protected 10-bromo-1-decanol followed by a second acetylide coupling to the short-chain 1-bromo-4- methylpentane, which resulted in higher yields. Complete spectral data is also presented for the first time for this recently discovered fatty acid and the cis double bond stereochemistry of the natural acid was established. The title compound displayed antiprotozoal activity against Leishmania donovani (IC 50 = 165.5 ± 23.4 μM) and inhibited the leishmania DNA topoisomerase IB enzyme (LdTopIB) with an IC50 = 62.3 ± 0.7 μM.
