title: Diastereoselective synthesis, binding affinity for vitamin D receptor, and chiral stationary phase chromatography of hydroxy analogs of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol.
abstract: A series of analogs of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol were obtained with an additional hydroxyl in the aliphatic side chain at carbon atom C-24. These analogs were synthesized by direct and diastereo-selective alpha-hydroxylation of enolates derived from respective vitamin D esters using Davies chiral oxaziridines. The use of (+)-(2R,8aS)-(8, 8-dichlorocamphoryl)sulfonyl oxaziridine resulted in (R) stereochemistry of the new asymmetric center for both series of analogs. Similarly, (-)-(2S,8aR) oxaziridine gave (S) analogs. The diastereomeric purity of hydroxy analogs was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. High diastereopurity of hydroxylation of vitamin D esters was obtained without the use of any chiral auxiliary. The binding affinity of (24R)-1,24,25-trihydroxycholecalciferol for the calf thymus intracellular vitamin D receptor was one order of magnitude higher than that of the respective (24S)-diastereomer.
