Synthesis of 2alpha-substituted-14-epi-previtamin D3 and its genomic activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Sep 15;19(18):5397-400. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.07.112. Epub 2009 Jul 28.

Abstract

We synthesized and isolated 2 alpha-substituted analogs of 14-epi-previtamin D3 after thermal isomerization at 80 degrees C for the first time. The VDR binding affinity and transactivation activity of osteocalcin promoter in HOS cells were evaluated, and the 2 alpha-methyl-substituted analog was found to have greater genomic activity than 14-epi-previtamin D3.
