Abstract
A simple method for the synthesis of yet unknown 5E-vitamin D3 analogs with an additional six-membered ring connecting C-6 and C-19 was developed. Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was used for efficient formation thereof from the corresponding 5E-isomers of 6-alkenyl vitamin D3 compounds which in turn were prepared from the 6-oxo-3,5-cyclovitamin D3. Reinvestigation of the Grignard reactions of this latter compound as well as the following acid-catalyzed cycloreversions showed discrepancies with the literature data describing the course of such processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether ApaI, BsmI, FokI or TaqI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene confer susceptibility to psoriasis. Methods All related association studies published before January 2012 were retrieved and eligible ones were included in our meta-analysis. For each of the four polymorphisms, we explored the significance of the associations for the allele contrast as well as the recessive and dominant models in overall samples, Caucasians and East Asians. Heterogeneity was identified by sensitivity analysis and publication bias was examined by funnel plot and Egger's test. RESULTS 12 studies that met our selection criteria were included. For ApaI polymorphism, the dominant model for allele a in Caucasians produced a significant result [heterogeneity χ(2) = 3.46, P = 0.177, I(2) = 42.2%; OR(fixed-effect model) = 1.398 (1.011-1.934), z = 2.03, P = 0.043]. While in East Asians, pooling analysis under any genetic model acquired no-significant result. Significant heterogeneity was identified among East Asian studies and a Korean study accounted mostly for the heterogeneity detected. The heterogeneities were no longer statistically significant after removing this study, and the results of re-analyses in remaining studies have not been affected. Regarding TaqI polymorphism, the allele contrast discovered significant association between allele T and psoriasis susceptibility in Caucasians [heterogeneity χ(2) = 4.35, P = 0.226, I(2) = 31.1%; OR(fixed-effect model) = 1.287 (1.067-1.551), z = 2.64, P = 0.008]. As for the BsmI and FokI polymorphisms, allele contrast, recessive and dominant models produced non-significant results in either Caucasians or East Asians. The funnel plots and Egger's tests found no publication bias presenting in the studies analyzed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed that ApaI, TaqI polymorphisms in VDR gene correlate with psoriasis in Caucasians.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis and the biological evaluation of 80 novel analogs of 25-dehydro-1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23S-lactone 2 (TEI-9647) and its 23R epimer (3) in which the lactone ring was systematically functionalized by introduction of a C1 to C4 primary alkyl group at the C24 position (5 sets of 4 diastereomers), together with their C2alpha-methyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, and 3-hydroxypropoxy-substituted derivatives were described. The triene structure of the vitamin D3 was constructed using palladium-catalyzed alkenylative cyclization of the A-ring precursor enyne with the CD-ring counterpart bromoolefin having the C24-alkylated lactone moiety on the side chain. The CD-ring precursors having 23,24-cis lactones were prepared by using a chromium-mediated syn-selective allylation-lactonization process, and the 23,24-trans lactone derivatives were derived from these via inversion of the C23 stereochemistry. The biological evaluation revealed that both binding affinity for chick vitamin D hormone receptor and antagonistic activity (inhibition of vitamin D hormone induced HL-60 cell differentiation) were affected by the orientation and chain-length of the primary alkyl group on the lactone ring. Furthermore, the C2alpha-functionalization of the C24-alkylated vitamin D3 lactones dramatically enhanced their biological activities. The most potent compound to emerge, (23S,24S)-2alpha-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-24-propyl exhibited almost 1000-fold stronger antagonistic activity (IC50=7.4 pM) than 2 (IC50=6.3 nM).

Abstract
The Radial Distribution Function (RDF) approach has been applied to the study of the chick intestinal VDR affinity of 49 Vitamin D analogues. A model able to describe more than 77.5% of the variance in the experimental activity was developed with the use of the mentioned approach. In contrast, none of four different approaches, including the use of Topological, BCUT, Randić molecular profiles and Geometrical descriptors were able to explain more than 55% of the variance in the mentioned property, with the same number of variables in the equation.

Abstract
Retinoids are natural and synthetic analogues of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Cancer and other serious hyperproliferative diseases are attractive therapeutic targets for retinoids. We report here the design and synthesis of novel cyclic urea compounds with retinoidal activity. YR105 exhibited potent differentiation-inducing ability toward human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells at the concentration of 10(-9)M: its potency was almost equal to that of the native ligand, all-trans retinoic acid.

Abstract
All four possible A-ring stereoisomers of 2,2-dimethyl-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (4) were designed and convergently synthesized. Nine-step conversion of methyl hydroxypivalate 6 provided the desired A-ring enyne synthon (13a,b) in good overall yield. Cross-coupling reaction of the A-ring synthon 13a,b with the CD-ring portion in the presence of palladium catalyst, followed by deprotection, gave the vitamin analogues (4a-d). We also synthesized four stereoisomers of 2,2-ethano-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (5), as novel spiro-ring analogues having cyclopropane fused at the C2 position. Biological potencies of the synthesized compounds were assessed in terms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding affinity, as well as the HL-60 cell differentiation-inducing activity. The 2,2-ethano analogue 5a showed a comparable activity to the natural hormone 1, while the 2,2-dimethyl analogue 4a exhibited one-third of the activity of 1 in cell differentiation, with the reduced VDR binding affinity.

Abstract
The 20-epi form of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3)) is expected as drugs for leukemia, other cancers or psoriasis, because it shows several-hundred fold enhanced ability to induce cell differentiation and growth inhibition than 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) while its calcemic activity is only slightly elevated. In this study, we compared the human and rat CYP24-dependent metabolism of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3) by using the Escherichia coli expression system. The HPLC and LC-MS analyses of the metabolites revealed that rat CYP24 converted 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3) to 25,26,27-trinor-1alpha(OH)-24(COOH)-20-epi-D(3) through 1alpha,24,25(OH)(3)-20-epi-D(3) and 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-24-oxo-20-epi-D(3). The binding affinity of trinor-1alpha(OH)-24(COOH)-20-epi-D(3) for vitamin D receptor (VDR) was less than 1/4000 of that of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3). These results suggest that rat CYP24 can almost completely inactivate 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3). On the other hand, human CYP24 mainly converted 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3) to its putative demethylated compound with a hydroxyl group, via 1alpha,24,25(OH)(3)-20-epi-D(3), 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-24-oxo-20-epi-D(3), and 1alpha,23,25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-20-epi-D(3). All of these metabolites showed considerable affinity for vitamin D receptor. These results clearly demonstrate the species-based difference between human and rat on the CYP24-dependent metabolism of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-20-epi-D(3).

Abstract
Novel A-ring analogues of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) antagonist (3a), ZK-159222, and its 24-epimer (3b) were convergently synthesized. Preparation of the CD-ring portions with the side chains of 3a,b, followed by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with the A-ring enyne precursors (15a,b), (3S,4S,5R)- and (3S,4S,5S)-bis[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-4-methyloct-1-en-7-yne, afforded the 2alpha-methyl-introduced analogues (4a,b) and their 3-epimers (5a,b). The biological profiles of the hybrid analogues were assessed in terms of affinity for VDR, and antagonistic activity to inhibit HL-60 cell differentiation induced by the natural hormone, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). The analogue 4a showed an approximately fivefold higher antagonistic activity compared with 3a. The 2alpha-methyl introduction into 3a increased the receptor affinity, thereby enhancing VDR antagonism. This approach to design potent antagonists based on hybridization of structural motifs in the A-ring and in the side chain may prove to be valuable.

Abstract
Novel 19-nor analogues of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) were prepared and substituted at C-2 with an ethylidene group. The synthetic pathway was via Wittig-Horner coupling of the corresponding A-ring phosphine oxides with the protected 25-hydroxy Grundmann's ketones. Selective catalytic hydrogenation of 2-ethylidene analogues provided the 2alpha- and 2beta-ethyl compounds. The 2-ethylidene-19-nor compounds with a methyl group from the ethylidene moiety in a trans relationship to the C(6)-C(7) bond (E-isomers) were more potent than the corresponding Z-isomers and the natural hormone in binding to the vitamin D receptor. Both geometrical isomers (E and Z) of (20S)-2-ethylidene-19-norvitamin D(3) and both 2alpha-ethyl-19-norvitamins (in the 20R- and 20S-series) have much higher HL-60 differentiation activity than does 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Both E-isomers (20R and 20S) of 2-ethylidene vitamins are characterized by very high calcemic activity in rats. The three-dimensional structure model of the rat vitamin D receptor and the computational docking of four synthesized (20R)-19-norvitamin D(3) analogues into its binding pocket are also reported.

Abstract
Our studies on creation of functional organic compounds and their applications, have focused on three areas, namely, (A) organic chemical studies on VD (vitamin D) analogues, (B) studies on solitary wasp venoms, and (C) studies on functional building blocks for organic synthesis. In the first area, several novel and important vitamin D analogues were synthesized and biologically evaluated, and their high VDR (vitamin D receptor) binding affinities were discussed on the basis of conformational analysis and docking study by Molecular Mechanics Calculation to the LBD (ligand binding domain) of VDR: These compounds include 24,24-difluoro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-VD3 (2) (an antimetabolism agent, the first VD analogue having higher potency than the natural hormone (1)), 2 alpha-methyl-1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-VD3 (42b) (the first A-ring-modified VD analogue exhibiting stronger VDR affinity than 1) and its 20-epimer (43b) (a VD analogue having a highest HL-60 cell differentiation inducing activity with a relatively low calcemic effect), and 2 alpha-(omega-hydroxypropyl)-1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-VD3 (exceptionally high calcemic effect). In the second area, we isolated and determined the structure of pompilidotoxins (76, 77), novel peptide neurotoxins in solitary wasp venoms. In the third area, we created furan-fused 3-sulfolene, 4H, 6H-thieno [3,4-c]-furan 5,5-dioxide and pyrrole-fused 3-sulfolene (96), 3,5-dihydro-1H-thieno[3,4-c] pyrrole 2,2-dioxide (125), and studied their inter- and intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions.
