Abstract
The discovery of a large variety of functions of vitamin D3 and its metabolites has led to the design and synthesis of a vast amount of vitamin D3 analogues in order to increase the potency and reduce toxicity. The introduction of highly electronegative fluorine atom(s) into vitamin D3 skeletons alters their physical and chemical properties. To date, many fluorinated vitamin D3 analogues have been designed and synthesized. This review summarizes the molecular structures of fluoro-containing vitamin D3 analogues and their synthetic methodologies.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 metabolites inhibit the expression of lipogenic genes by impairing sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP), a master transcription factor of lipogenesis, independent of their canonical activity through a vitamin D receptor (VDR). Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of vitamin D derivatives to search for a drug-like small molecule that suppresses the SREBP-induced lipogenesis without affecting the VDR-controlled calcium homeostasis in vivo. Evaluation of the derivatives in cultured cells and mice led to the discovery of VDR-silent SREBP inhibitors and to the development of KK-052 (50), the first vitamin D-based SREBP inhibitor that has been demonstrated to mitigate hepatic lipid accumulation without calcemic action in mice. KK-052 maintained the ability of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to induce the degradation of SREBP but lacked in the VDR-mediated activity. KK-052 serves as a valuable compound for interrogating SREBP/SCAP in vivo and may represent an unprecedented translational opportunity of synthetic vitamin D analogues.

Abstract
During our ongoing studies of vitamin D, we focused on the vitamin D3 side-chain 24-position, which is the major metabolic site of human CYP24A1. In order to inhibit the metabolism of vitamin D3, 24,24-difluorovitamin D3analogues are important candidates. In this paper, we report the practical introduction of the difluoro-unit to the 24-position to synthesize 24,24-difluoro-CD ring (1) and 24,24-difluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (2).

Abstract
Two novel 23-fluorinated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 analogues were synthesized using Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol as a precursor of the CD-ring, efficiently. Introduction of the C23 fluoro group was achieved by the deoxy-fluorination reaction using N,N-diethylaminosulfur trifluoride or 2-pyridinesulfonyl fluoride (PyFluor). Kinetic studies on the CYP24A1-dependent metabolism of these two analogues revealed that (23S)-23-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was more resistant to CYP24A1-dependent metabolism than its 23R isomer.

Abstract
Among numerous studies on synthetic approaches to and the biological activities of vitamin D analogues, we herein focused on falecalcitriol, an analogue of calcitriol (1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), in which a 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoroisopropanol unit has been introduced into the side chain. Falecalcitriol was designed to escape from the metabolism of CYP24A1 and has been used as a drug to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism since 2001. Its metabolite, the 23-hydroxy form, retains biological activity and resistants to further metabolism. Recent developments in synthetic methodologies for introducing the hexafluoroisopropanol unit into the vitamin D CD-ring side chain were described herein.

Abstract
Four side chain fluorinated analogues of 1α,25-dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D have been prepared in convergent syntheses using the Wittig-Horner reaction as a key step. Structures and absolute configurations of analogues 3 and 5 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. All analogues showed high potency in HL-60 cell differentiation and vitamin D-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase) transcription as compared to 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1). Most important is that all of the 20S-configured derivatives (4 and 6) had high bone mobilizing activity in vivo. However, in the 20R series, a 2-methylene group was required for high bone mobilizing activity. A change in positioning of the 20R molecule in the vitamin D receptor when the 2-methylene group is present may provide new insight into the molecular basis of bone calcium mobilization induced by vitamin D.

Abstract
The activated vitamin D3 derivative 26,27-F6-1alpha,25(OH)2D3 (2a), its three A-ring diastereomers (2b, 2c, 2d), and 5,6-trans isomer (2e) were prepared. Two analogues (2b, 2c) of these isomers were synthesized by a palladium catalyzed coupling reaction using vinyl bromide 5 and enynes (6a, 6b), which were derived from readily commercially available 2S-(+)-glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate 7, as a common starting material. Competitive vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding affinities of these diastereomers of 2a were evaluated. Interestingly, the stereochemical effects at C-1,3 of 2a were considerably more moderate than those of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 (1). In particular, isomerization at the 5,6-double bond of 2a only slightly reduced VDR affinity, whereas 5,6-trans-1alpha,25(OH)2D3 had a significantly lower binding affinity than 1.
