RESUMEN
In the present paper, the synthesis of (11)C-labeled Kendine 91 (a HDAC inhibitor which has shown in vitro and in vivo activity in HCT 116 and MOLT 4 human cancer cell lines) is described for the first time. The radiosynthesis has been approached by reaction of the non-radioactive precursor 6-((3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide))hexanehydroxamic acid with [(11)C]CH(3)I in basic media. Despite the presence of more than one reactive site in the chemical structure of the precursor, acceptable radiochemical yield (8.2±2.1%, decay corrected to the end of bombardment), specific activity (28.2±9.4 GBq/µmol) and radiochemical purity values (>95%) were obtained in reasonably short preparation times (~40 min). Despite the moderate radiochemical yield, final radioactivity and radioactivity concentration values (1.8±0.3 GBq and 180 MBq/ml, respectively) should be sufficient for putative in vivo studies in animals.

The biodistribution pattern of [(11)C]Kendine 91 (a novel HDAC inhibitor) after IV administration has been evaluated using Positron Emission Tomography (rats) and gamma counting of dissected tissues (rats and mice) at different doses (1 µg/kg and 10.0 mg/kg). Metabolism in mice plasma has been also investigated by radio-HPLC. Obtained results (fast accumulation in lungs, heart, kidneys and liver; lower uptake in pancreas and muscle) are in concordance with previously reported results using HPLC/MS-MS. Plasma analysis studies showed a fast metabolism of the radiotracer.

Michael addition of ethyl nitroacetate on α,ß-unsaturated ketones followed by Nef oxidation under hydrolytic conditions yields γ-oxoacids instead of the corresponding α,δ-dioxoesters. A concerted decarboxylation step is proposed on the basis of computational results. Finally, conversion of the γ-ketoacids thus prepared into 1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones by reaction with primary amines under Paal-Knorr conditions is also reported.

The reaction between benzynes and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines (pyrimidines) to form benzo[a]imidazo[5,1,2-cd]indolizines and 2,3,9c-triazocyclopenta[j,k]fluorenes has been studied computationally and experimentally. It is found that these reactions take place via tandem [(pi)8(s) + (pi)2(s)] and [(sigma)2(s) + (pi)6(s) + (sigma)2(s)] processes. The [8 + 2] cycloaddition steps are essentially barrierless, and the aromatization steps occur via highly synchronous aromatic transition structures. From an experimental standpoint, the reaction is feasible under microwave irradiation and using 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflates as benzyne precursors. Depending on the substitution pattern in the starting triflate a complete regiocontrol of the reaction can be achieved. The tetracyclic compounds thus prepared emitted blue light when excited at 365 nm and exhibited interesting photophysical properties.
