SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF 23-OXA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3, 23-THIA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3 AND 23-OXA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3
K. Allewaert et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF 23-OXA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3, 23-THIA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3 AND 23-OXA-24-OXO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D3, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(9), 1993, pp. 1859-1862
The synthesis includes the side-chain construction starting from the I
nhoffen-Lythgoe diol and coupling with the A ring. Both 23-oxa- and 23
-thia-analogues showed a decreased cell differentiating effect but eve
n a more decreased calcemic effect compared with 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3.
