6 Dec 1974 | | Journal: | Science, 186 (4167), 939-41 | | Abstract: | Solution conformations of the A and seco B rings of vitamin D(3), 1(alpha), 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), 1(alpha)-hydroxyvitamin D(3), and dihydrotachysterol(3) have been established by high resolution, 300-megahertz proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The A ring of these steroids is dynamically equilibrated between two chair conformers. For vitamin D(3), 1(alpha)-hydroxyvitamin D(3), and 1(alpha),25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) the relative proportions of the two conformers are 1 : 1, whereas dihydrotachysterol3 exists principally as only one conformer. Thus, the substituent groups on the A ring may be either equatorially or axially oriented, and suggests a refinement of the existing topological model for vitamin D hormonal activity. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid4377759 | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
