PG - 379-94 LID - S0083-6729(15)00062-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/bs.vh.2015.10.010 [doi] AB - The Arg274 residue of the ligand binding domain of human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) is important for 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3) binding as a specific ligand through forming a hydrogen bond with the 1alpha-OH group of the active vitamin D3, 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. An additional pincer-type hydrogen bond formation with Arg274 from a 2alpha-substituent of a synthetic 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 analog would enhance the binding affinity and biological activity. A series of 2alpha-[2-(heteroaryl)ethyl]-, 2alpha-(4-cyanobutyl)-, 2alpha-(omega-cyanoalkoxy)-, and 2beta-(3-cyanopropoxy)-1alpha,25(OH)2D3 were designed and synthesized based on our original hVDR super agonists of 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl)- and 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Their potential biological activities, i.e., hVDR binding affinity, transactivation activity in HOS cells, and therapeutic effect on enhancing the bone mineral density of OVX rats, were studied.
