Popis: Biological activities of a series of 2beta-substituted analogues of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1alpha,25(OH)2D3] were evaluated in vitro in terms of their binding affinity with regard to calf thymus cytosolic vitamin D receptor (VDR) and rat plasma vitamin D-binding protein (DBP). Additionally, reporter gene luciferase activities using either a rat 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-24-hydroxylase gene promoter, including two vitamin D-responsive elements (VDREs), in transfected rat osteoblast-like ROS17/2.8 cells, or a human VDR-GAL4 modified two-hybrid system in transfected human epitheloid carcinoma, cervix HeLa cells were examined. Binding affinity for VDR, transactivation potency on the target gene and VDR-mediated gene regulation of the hydroxyalkyl and hydroxyalkoxy 2beta-substituted analogues were almost comparable to those of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, while the alkyl and alkenyl analogues were much less active than 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. This study investigated the biological evaluation of a series of 2beta-substituted analogues at the molecular level, with regard to the structural differences of alkyl, alkenyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkoxy, alkoxy, hydroxy and chloro substituents at the 2beta-position of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3.
