摘要
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is recognized as a potential target for the treatment of breast cancer which is the most common malignancy among women in the world. In this study, a series of nonsecosteroidal VDR agonists with a novel diarylmethane skeleton was designed, synthesized and the anti-tumor activities of these compounds were determined. Compound 28 was identified as the most effective agents in reducing the viability of MCF-7 cells, with a low IC50 via the inhibition of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis by regulating the expression of p21, Bcl2 and Bax. In addition, compound 28 showed high VDR-binding affinity and displayed significant VDR-agonistic activities. Further investigation revealed that compound 28 inhibited tumor growth in an orthotopic breast-tumor model without causing hypercalcemia which is the main side effect of secosteroidal VDR modulators. In summary, these findings discovered novel VDR modulators as promising candidates for cancer chemotherapy. (C) 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
