PG - 40-44 LID - S0960-0760(15)30029-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2015.07.016 [doi] AB - Recently, we found that 2alpha-[2-(tetrazol-2-yl)ethyl]-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) showed higher osteocalcin promoter transactivation activity in human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells and a greater therapeutic effect in ovariectomized (OVX) rats in vivo than those of active vitamin D(3), 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). We were interested in introducing a heterocyclic ring to the C2 position of the seco-steroidal structure via an alkyl linker, and four novel C2-(3-tetrazolylpropyl) substituted 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D(3) analogs, 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-1-yl)propyl]-, 2beta-[3-(tetrazol-1-yl)propyl]-, 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-2-yl)propyl]-, and 2beta-[3-(tetrazol-2-yl)propyl]-19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) were synthesized. Among them, 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-1-yl)propyl]-19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) showed weak binding affinity for human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) (2.6% of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and ca. 15% of 19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)) and weak VDR transactivation activity in HOS cells (EC(50) 7.3nM, when 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)0.23nM). Although the other three compounds could not act as VDR binders by evaluation of the competition assays, 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-2-yl)propyl]-19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) showed weak transactivation activity (EC(50) 12.5nM). Metabolic stability of the 2alpha-substituted compounds 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-1-yl)propyl]- and 2alpha-[3-(tetrazol-2-yl)propyl]-19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) was higher than that of the 2beta-substituted counterparts 2beta-[3-(tetrazol-1-yl)propyl]- and 2beta-[3-(tetrazol-2-yl)propyl]-19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) against human CYP24A1. Introduction of a tetrazole ring to the C2-position of the 19-norvitamin D(3) skeleton with the propyl linker led to weak VDR agonistic activity with stability against CYP24A1 metabolism.
