Abstract
A fluoro-substituted δ-tocotrienol derivative, DT3-F2, was synthesized. This compound was designed to stabilize the metabolically labile terminal methyl groups of δ-tocotrienol by replacing one C-H bond on each of the two methyl groups with a C-F bond. However, in vitro metabolic stability studies using mouse liver microsomes revealed an unexpected rapid enzymatic C-F bond hydrolysis of DT3-F2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an unusual metabolic hydrolysis of allylic C-F bonds.Entities:
