The development of 99mTc-labeled fatty acid analogues metabolized by β-oxidation in the myocardium constitutes an unsolved challenge. On the basis of our recent findings that [188Re] tricarbonyl(cyclopentadienylcarbonate)rhenium ([188Re]CpTR-COOH) was recognized as an aromatic compound and was metabolized as such in the body, [99mTc]cyclopentadienyltricarbonyltechnetium ([99mTc]CpTT) was conjugated at the ω-position of pentadecanoic acid to prepare [ 99mTc]CpTT-PA. When injected into rats, [99mTc]CpTT-PA exhibited the maximum myocardial accumulation and heart-to-blood ratio of 3.85 %ID/g at 1 min and 4.60 at 10 min postinjection, respectively. The metabolic study using isolated Langendorff perfused rat hearts demonstrated that approximately 67% of perfused [99mTc]CpTT-PA was incorporated and [99mTc]-CpTT-propionic acid, the metabolite after six cycles of β-oxidation of [99mTc]CpTT-PA, was detected as the major radiometabolite in the perfusate and myocardium. These findings indicate that [99mTc]CpTT-PA was recognized, transported, and metabolized as a long chain fatty acid analogue for energy production in the myocardium.
Biosynthesis of defensive coccinellidae alkaloids: Incorporation of fatty acids in adaline, coccinelline, and harmonine

In this study, we report on in vitro incorporation experiments of several labelled fatty acids in the ladybird alkaloids coccinelline (Coccinella 7-punctata), adaline (Adalia 2-punctata), and harmonine (Harmonia axyridis). The obtained results clearly indicate that stearic acid is the precursor of coccinelline and harmonine, whereas myristic acid is at the origin of the carbon skeleton of adaline. Possible pathways for the biosynthesis of these alkaloids are presented. In vitro incorporation experiments of labelled fatty acids in the ladybird alkaloids coccinelline (Coccinella 7-punctata), adaline (Adalia 2-punctata) and harmonine (Harmonia axyridis) indicate that stearicacid is the best precursor for the biosynthesis of coccinelline and harmonine, whereas myristic acid is more efficient for the formation of the carbon skeleton of adaline.

α-nitrocycloalkanones as a source of α,ω,-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters

α,ω-Dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters arc easily obtained by ring cleavage of α-nitrocycloalkanones. Thus, reaction of the latter compounds with three equivalents of potassium persulfate, in methanol and in presence of sulfuric acid at 80 °C, provides α,ω-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters in high yields. Long-chain, and alkylated α,ω-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters can be also efficiently obtained.
