2-alkylidene-18,19-dinor-vitamin D compounds are disclosed as well as pharmaceutical uses for these compounds and methods of synthesizing these compounds. These compounds are characterized by low bone calcium mobilization activity and high intestinal calcium transport activity. This results in novel therapeutic agents for the treatment and prophylaxis of diseases where bone formation is desired, particularly osteoporosis, as well as autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus and lupus. These compounds also exhibit pronounced activity in arresting the proliferation of undifferentiated cells and inducing their differentiation to the monocyte thus evidencing use as an anti-cancer agent and for the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis. These compounds also increase both breaking strength and crushing strength of bones evidencing use in conjunction with bone replacement surgery such as hip and knee replacements.
披露了2-烷基亚烯基-18,19-二诺尔
维生素D化合物,以及这些化合物的药用途和合成这些化合物的方法。这些化合物的特点是低骨
钙动员活性和高肠道
钙运输活性。这导致了用于治疗和预防骨形成期望的疾病的新型治疗剂,特别是骨质疏松症,以及自身免疫疾病,如多发性硬化症、糖尿病和红斑狼疮。这些化合物还表现出明显的活性,可以阻止未分化细胞的增殖,并诱导它们分化为单核细胞,从而表明其用作抗癌剂和用于治疗
银屑病等皮肤疾病。这些化合物还增加了骨骼的抗折强度和抗压强度,表明它们可与骨骼置换手术(如髋关节和膝关节置换)结合使用。
