• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  Novel vitamin D(3) analogs with carboxylic acid were explored, focusing on a nonsecosteroidal analog, LG190178, with a bisphenyl skeleton. From X-ray analysis of these analogs with vitamin D receptor (VDR), the carboxyl groups had very unique hydrogen bonding interactions in VDR and mimicked 1α-hydroxy group and/or 3β-hydroxy group of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). A highly potent analog, 6a, with good in vitro activity and pharmacokinetic profiles was identified from an SAR study. Compound 6a showed significant prevention of bone loss in a rat osteoporosis model by oral administration.
