24-Hydroxylated derivatives were synthesized in 24(R) and 24(S) forms by the convergent method as analogs related to 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D(3). In the convergent synthesis, the A-ring fragment, synthesized from diethyl D-tartarate, and the C/D-ring fragments in 24(R) and 24(S) forms (vitamin D numbering), obtained from vitamin D(2) via the Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol, were coupled in moderate yields to give 1alpha,24(R),25-trihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D(3) and 1alpha,24(S),25-trihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D(3). In preliminary biological evaluations, 24-hydroxylation of 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D(3) caused weakened affinity to vitamin D binding protein in vitro and less calcemic activity in vivo compared to the parent compound. While the affinity to vitamin D receptor in 24(R) epimer was sustained, the affinity in 24(S) epimer was less than that of the parent compound.
