New analogs of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) synthesized in our research group that show selective activity in vivo are presented along with supporting biological results. Compounds that act preferentially on intestine are 2-(3'-propylidene-19-nor-(20S or 20R))-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and 2-methylene-19-21-dinor-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Compounds that act anabolically to induce bone formation are 2-methylene-19-nor-(20S)-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (2MD), the 2alpha-methyl derivative, the 26,27-dimethyl derivative, and the 26-dimethylene derivative. Compounds that act preferentially on parathyroid glands are 2-methylene-19-nor-1alpha-hydroxy-homopregnacalciferol, the 20S-bishomo derivative and the 2-methylene-19,26,27-trinor-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). These latter compounds do not elevate serum calcium until doses of the order of >300 microg/kg body weight are used, while parathyroid hormone levels are suppressed at much lower doses. Some of these novel analogs may ultimately be useful as new and safer therapeutic agents. Regardless of their clinical utility, they represent valuable research tools that can be used to study the specific functions of the Vitamin D hormone in vivo.
