24,24-DIFLUORINATED ANALOGS OF 1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXY VITAMIN D3

摘要

Fluorinated analogs of l alpha ,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3. These analogs are synthesized in a convergent manner by joining A-ring and C,D-ring fragments. Each hybrid analog, having a calcemia-lowering 1-hydroxymethyl group and a potentiating 16-ene-24,24-difluorinated C,D-ring and side chain, is designed to be lipophilic and inert toward 24-hydroxylase enzyme catabolism. Each hybrid analog with 1 beta ,3 alpha -substituent stereochemistry shows a pharmacologically desirable combination of high antiproliferative and high transcriptional activities in vitro and also low calcemic activity in vivo.
