The present invention relates to non-secosteroidal compounds which activate and modulate the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Because compounds of the present invention display many of the beneficial properties of 1,25(OH)2D3, but with reduced calcium mobilization effects, they may be used advantageously to treat and prevent conditions that show vitamin D sensitivity. Such disease states typically show abnormal calcium regulatory, abnormal immune responsive, hyperproliferative, and/or neurodegenerative characteristics.
本发明涉及激活和调节维生素D受体(VDR)的非类固醇化合物。由于本发明的化合物显示出许多1,25(OH)2D3的有益特性,但具有减少的钙动员效应,因此它们可以有利地用于治疗和预防显示维生素D敏感性的疾病。这种疾病状态通常显示异常的钙调节、异常的免疫响应、过度增殖和/或神经退行性特征。
