The active form of vitamin D3 [1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 (1 alpha,
25(OH)2D3)] modulates the proliferation and differentiation of
hematopoietic cells. Analogs of 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 that have greater
potency may have the potential as adjuvant therapy for high-risk patients
in remission for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic
syndromes. A new generation of 11 analogs of 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 has been
synthesized, and we examined their effects on the human leukemic cell line
HL-60. This cell line provides a sensitive monitor of activity of the 1
alpha, 25(OH)2D3 analogs. All the compounds were potent, producing a 50%
clonal inhibition (ED50) in the range of 10(-8) to 10(-11) mol/L; nine of
the 11 analogs had ED50s at concentrations that were at least 10-fold lower
than those for the parental 1,25(OH)2D3. The most active compound [cmpd LA,
(22R)-1 alpha, 25-(OH)2-16,22,23-triene-D3] had an ED50 of 2 x 10(-11)
mol/L; it was also tested on clonogenic cells from patients with AML, and
it achieved an ED50 of approximately 6 x 10(-11) mol/L, while 1 alpha,
25(OH)2D3 produced an ED50 of approximately 10(-8) mol/L on the same
population of cells. Five different cell surface markers were examined on
HL-60 cells exposed to the 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 analogs: HLA-DR and CD11b
were induced by all of the compounds; CD13 was induced by six of the 12
compounds, including 1,25(OH)2D3; CD14 was strongly induced by all
compounds; and CD38 was induced rather weakly by nine of 12 analogs.
WAF1/CIP1/p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI), which is
important in blocking the cell cycle, was examined by Western blot and was
found to be induced by all of the compounds, suggesting a possible
mechanism by which these analogs inhibit leukemic growth. The induction of
WAF1 occurred at concentrations of vitamin D analogs as low as 10(- 10)
mol/L. This structure-function study showed that a new series of 1 alpha,
25(OH)2D3 analogs was active in clonal inhibition, as well as induction of
differentiation and WAF1 expression of HL-60 cells. The key structural
motifs included C-16 double bond, double and/or triple bonds in the side
chain, lengthening of the side chain, 20-epi- conformation of the side
chain, replacement of six hydrogens at the end of the side chain with
fluorines, and the removal of C-19. Consideration should be given to
further in vivo testing of toxicity and efficacy to move toward a clinical
trial, especially in a setting of minimal residual disease.
