“…The C-23 epimers of the major metabolite (384) of 24(R)hydroxycalciodiol have been synthesized and their configurations at C-23 have been determined by X-ray analysis. 176 The naturally occurring epimer of the 24-0x0 compound (384) is found to have the S configuration at C-23 by comparison of its spectral properties and HPLC behaviour with those of the synthetic isomers. The 22-hydroxy-and 22-methoxy-derivatives (385) and (386) of calcitriol are prepared from the 22-aldehyde (387).17' The 22(S)-epimers show much more potent biological activities.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
