<p>New fluorine-substituted vitamin D compounds, methods for preparing such compounds and fluorinated intermediate compounds used in such methods. The fluorine-substituted vitamin D compounds of this invention are characterized by vitamin D-like activity in their ability to stimulate intestinal calcium transport and bone mobilization and in promoting the calcification of rachitic bone. These compounds would find ready application as a substitute for the vitamin D compounds in the treatment of disease states evincing calcium-phosphorus unbalance and which may be nonresponsive to normal vitamin D therapy. </p> |
