Abstract: 2α-Heteroarylethyl-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 analogues, which were designed to form a hydrogen bond between Arg274 of human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) and a nitrogen atom of the heteroaromatic ring at the 2α-position, were synthesized. Among them, 2α-[2-(tetrazol-2-yl)ethyl]-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 showed higher osteocalcin promoter transactivation activity in human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells and a greater therapeutic effect in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, osteoporosis model animals, on enhancing bone mineral density than those of active vitamin D3. X-ray cocrystallographic analysis of the hVDR-ligand complex confirms that the new hydrogen bond formation stabilized the complex.
