The biological activity of 16-epoxy side-chain analogs of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, (1 alpha,25(OH)2D3) was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Compared to 1 alpha,25(0H)2D3, all analogs had lower affinities for the pig duodenal vitamin D receptor and also for the human serum vitamin D binding protein. The in vitro effects on cell proliferation or differentiation of human promyeloid leukemia (induction of superoxide production in HL-60 cells), human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells (osteocalcin secretion), or human breast cancer cells (incorporation of thymidine in MCF-7 cells), was markedly inhibited by several epoxy analogs, compared to 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3, but the rank order of their activity widely varied among different cancer cells. The most potent analogs (24S,25S-24-hydroxy-25,26-epoxy-22-ene-1 alpha-OHD3, 25,26-epoxy-23-yne-1 alpha-OHD3, and 25,26-epoxy-23-yne-20-epi-1 alpha-OHD3 or compounds, 16, 5, and 7, respectively) were equipotent (16 and 5) or 30-fold (compound 7 on MG-63 cells) to 40-fold (compound 7 on MCF-7 cells) more active than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. These analogs were nevertheless poorly antirachitic (< 3%) when tested in vitamin D-deficient chicks (using serum and bone calcium, serum osteocalcin and duodenal calbindin D-28K, as end points). Compound 7 was also 100-fold more active than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 in inhibition of proliferation of human foreskin keratinocytes. Some epoxy analogs of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 thus display interesting dissociations between their receptor affinity and their potency to induce cell differentiation, whereas their effect on cell proliferation/differentiation exceed their calcemic effects more than 100- to 1000-fold.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
