The first total synthesis of (±)-4-methoxydecanoic acid: a novel antifungal fatty acid
摘要:
The hitherto unknown (+/-)-4-methoxydecanoic acid was synthesized in six steps and in 25% overall yield starting from commercially available 4-penten-1-ol. The title compound demonstrated 17-fold higher antifungal activity (MIC = 1.5 mu M) against Candida albicans ATCC 60193 and Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC 66031 when compared to unsubstituted n-decanoic acid. Our results demonstrate that mid-chain methoxylation appears to be a viable strategy for increasing the fungitoxicity of fatty acids. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
