Abstract

To investigate the interdigitation and the resulting fluctuation of lipid chains in the deep part of biomembranes, we aimed to develop a new fluorescent probe based on the well-known trans-parinaric acid (t-PA), but with a tetraene near the end of the C24 chain. The probe, tetracosa-16,18,20,22-tetraenoic acid (TCTEA), synthesized mainly by means of reported strategies, was found to better reflect the behavior of lipids in the deeper interior of bilayers than did t-PA. TCTEA could serve as a useful probe for studying the plasma-membrane dynamics of very-long-chain fatty acids, which have recently elicited significant attention in relation to necroptosis.

  • 21 TCTEA (1) A mixture of the ester 5 (37.3 mg, 0.0996 mmol), hexane (16.6 mL), and a sat. solution of I2 in hexane (20.4 μL) was stirred under reflux at 45–50 °C for 15 min. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, hexane–EtOAc (50:1)] to give ester 6; Rf = 0.71 (hexane–EtOAc, 20:1). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.13 (m, 6 H, 6 C=CH), 5.71 (m, 2 H, 2 C=CH–CH2), 3.66 (s, 3 H, OMe), 1.2–2.4 (m, 28 H, 14 CH2). A flask was charged with ester 6 (0.0288 g, 0.077 mmol), i-PrOH (2.3 mL), THF (0.357 mL), and 1 M aq KOH (4.61 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 35–40 °C for 1.5 h. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the extracts were washed with H2O to give 1 as a yellow film: yield: 0.0235 g (0.0652 mmol, 82%); Rf = 0.05 (hexane–EtOAc, 20:1). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.13 (m, 6 H, 6 C=CH), 5.71 (m, 2 H, 2 C=CH–CH2), 2.72 (s, 1 H, OH), 1.2–2.4 (m, 28 H, 14 CH2).
