Abstract

Replacing the 1α-OH group of the natural hormone 1α,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) by a 1α-CHF2 group and incorporating a potentiating side chain produced two new hybrid analogs 6 and 7. Both of these two hybrid analogs are as transcriptionally active as calcitriol and are strongly antiproliferative in vitro but are low-calcemic in vivo.
