Vitamin D derivatives of the formula
where R1, R2 and R3 which may be the same or different each represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group; X is an oxygen atom, the group of the formula OR4 (where R4 is either a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl having 4 to 6 carbon atoms that may or may not be substituted by a hydroxyl group), or the group of the formula=N-OR5 (where R5 is either a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms that may or may not be substituted by a hydroxyl group, an amino group or a lower alkylamino group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms), provided that the carbon atom at 20-position is linked to X by a single bond when X is the group of the formula OR4, and by a double bond in other cases, and a process for preparing the derivatives are disclosed.
The derivatives have both the immunoregulating action and the ability to induce differentiation in tumor cells and hence are useful as medicines such as antiallergic agents, antirheumatic agents and antitumor agents.
本发明涉及一种维生素D衍生物,其化学式为:其中R1、R2和R3可能相同或不同,分别代表氢原子或羟基;X代表氧原子、化学式为OR4的基团(其中R4可以是氢原子或具有4至6个碳原子的低级烷基,可以或不可以被羟基取代),或化学式为N-OR5的基团(其中R5可以是氢原子或具有1至5个碳原子的低级烷基,可以或不可以被羟基、氨基或具有1至3个碳原子的低级烷基氨基取代),但当X为化学式为OR4的基团时,20位碳原子与X之间是通过单键连接的,其他情况下是通过双键连接的。本发明还涉及一种制备该衍生物的方法。该衍生物具有免疫调节作用和诱导肿瘤细胞分化的能力,因此可用作药物,如抗过敏药、抗风湿药和抗肿瘤药。
