Localized induction of bone formation is essential during orthopedic procedures that involve skeletal repair, such as surgical treatment of non-union bone fractures and degenerative disk disease. Herein we disclose the synthesis and biologicalevaluation of novel oxysterol derivatives designed as anabolicbone growth agents. Structure–activity relationship studies of oxysterol 4 have identified analogues
