Abstract: We designed and synthesized 1alpha- and 1beta-hydroxymethyl-2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl)-25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (2a,b) and related analogues 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl)-25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (3), Posner's analogues of 1alpha- and 1beta-hydroxymethyl-25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (4a,b), as well as 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (5), to confirm the effect of the 1alpha-hydroxy group and/or 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl) group of vitamin D(3) analogues with the modified A-ring moiety on the mutant vitamin D receptor, VDR(Arg274Leu). The 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl) group showed better effect on enhancement of the transcriptional activity through the mutant VDR than the 1alpha- and 1beta-hydroxymethyl groups.
