Abstract

Non-secosteroidal VDR ligands without any assymmetric carbon were designed and synthesized based on the structure of the previously reported non-secosteroidal VDR agonist LG190178. The VDR-agonistic activity of all synthesized compounds was evaluated, and 7b emerged as a potent agonist activity with an EC₅₀ value of 9.26 nM. Moreover, a docking simulation analysis was also performed to determine the binding mode of 7b with VDR-LBD.

Keywords: Asymmetric carbon; Docking study; Non-secosteroid; Vitamin D receptor.
