Research Abstract |
I found that 14-epi-19-nortachysterol derivatives was able to be isolated by 14 epimerization. And I succeeded in their chemical synthesis and revealed their marked stability in comparison with natural tachysterol and they showed their potent VDR binding affinity. Also, X-ray co-crystallographic analyses were performed using their complex with the ligand binding domain of the human VDR, and surprisingly, they exhibited an unprecedented binding configurations, C5,6-s-trans and C7,8-s-trans triene configurations, which were opposite the natural C7,8-ene-configuration of vitamin D3.
