Novel vitamin D receptor (VDR) antagonists, 24,24-dimethyl-1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D-3-26,23-lactones (8 and 9) and their C2alpha functionalized analogues (8a-c and 9a-c) were efficiently synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated. The construction of vitamin D-3 triene skeleton was achieved by palladium-catalyzed alkenylative cyclization of A-ring precursor enyne (22 and 22a-c) with CD-ring bromoolefin having a 24,24-dimethyl-alpha-methylene-gamma-lactone unit on the side chain (13 and 14). The CD-ring precursors 13 and 14 were prepared by using chromium-mediated allylation of the aldehyde 10 derived from vitamin D-2. On the other hand, the A-ring enyne having 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl) group (22b) was newly synthesized from epoxide 15 using regio- and stereoselective alkylation methodology. The potency of the antagonistic activity of the newly designed analogues (8 and 9) increased up to 12 times that of TEI-9647 (2). Furthermore, introduction of the three motifs, that is, a methyl (8a and 9a), an omega-hydroxypropyl (8b and 9b) or an omega-hydroxypropoxyl group (8c and 9c) into the C2alpha position of 8 and 9, respectively, resulted in remarkable enhancement, up to 89 times, of the antagonistic activity on VDR.
