Abstract

Abstract Image

A practical synthetic route to novel vitamin D antagonists of DLAM (1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactam) was developed from vitamin D2 via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction as a key step. Six DLAM derivatives (24 compounds) with a variety of nitrogen substituents and stereochemistries at C23 and C25 were synthesized. Among these new derivatives, (23S,25S)-DLAM isomers bound effectively to VDRs and showed antagonistic activity in the HL-60 cell differentiation inhibition assay. The importance of the substituent on the nitrogen of DLAMs for antagonistic activity was also suggested by computational docking studies.
