Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Conformational Analysis of A-Ring Diastereomers of 2-Methyl-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and Their 20-Epimers: Unique Activity Profiles Depending on the Stereochemistry of the A-Ring and at C-20
摘要:
All eight; possible A-ring diastereomers of 2-methyl-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (2) and 2-methyl-20-epi-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (3) were convergently synthesized. The A-ring enyne synthons 19 were synthesized starting with methyl(S)-(+)- or (R)-(-)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (8). This was converted to the alcohol 14 as a 1:1 epimeric mixture in several steps. After having been separated by column chromatography, each isomer led to the requisite A-ring enyne synthons 19 again as 1:1 mixtures at C-1. Coupling of the resulting A-ring enynes 20a-h with the CD-ring portions 5a,b in the presence of a Pd catalyst afforded the 2-methyl analogues 2a-h and 3a-h in good yield. In this way, all possible A-ring diastereomers were synthesized. The synthesized analogues were biologically evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The potency was highly dependent on the stereochemistry of each isomer. In particular, the alpha alpha beta -isomer 2g exhibited 4-fold higher potency than 1 alpha ,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1) both in bovine thymus VDR binding and in elevation of rat serum calcium concentration and was twice as potent, as the parent compound in HL-60 cell differentiation. Furthermore, its 20-epimer, that is, 20epi-alpha alpha beta 3g, exhibited exceptionally high activities: 12-fold higher in VDR binding affinity, 7-fold higher in calcium mobilization, and 590-fold higher in HL-60 cell differentiation, as compared to 1 alpha ,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1). Accordingly, the double modification of 2-methyl substitution and 20-epimerization resulted in unique activity profiles. Conformational analysis of the A-ring by H-1 NMR and an X-ray crystallographic analysis of the alpha alpha beta -isomer 2g are also described.
and 2β-Substituted analogs of 14-epi-previtamin D3 were synthesized and isolated after thermal isomerization of 14-epi-vitamin D3triene at 80 °C. The VDR binding affinity and transactivation activity of osteocalcin promoter in HOS cells were tested, and the 2α-methyl-substituted analog was found to have greater genomic activity than 14-epi-previtamin D3. We found that modification at the C2 position

Synthesis and biological evaluation of all eight possible A-ring diastereomers of 2-methyl-20-epi-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 are described. Among the analogues synthesized, 2 alpha-methyl-20-epi-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 exhibited exceptionally high potency. The double modification of 2-methyl substitution and 20-epimerization yielded analogues with unique activity profiles. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
