Aim: The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate the Vitamin D supplementation and stabilization splint therapy in patients exhibiting temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Settings And Design: The study design was double-blinded, parallel-group, randomized and placebo-controlled trial conducted in patients with low Vitamin D and TMDs, which were allocated to two groups, Study group S + D (Stabilization splint with Vitamin D supplementation) and Control Group S (Stabilization Splint with placebo drug).

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-six participants of 18-45 years of age gap with Vitamin D deficiency and TMD were included in the study.

Analogs of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (S1) with 20-epi modification (20-epi analogs) possess unique biological properties. We previously reported that 1α,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-vitamin D (S2), the basic 20-epi analog is metabolized into less polar metabolites (LPMs) in rat osteosarcoma cells (UMR-106) but not in a perfused rat kidney. Furthermore, we also noted that only selective 20-epi analogs are metabolized into LPMs.

An efficient synthesis of 1α,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-vitamin D3.

The synthesis of 1α,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-vitamin D3 (1) by Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling between the boronate ester (2) and the enol triflate (3) is described. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Vitamin D Workshop'.

We synthesized four new vitamin D derivatives, diastereomers at C20 and C25 of 26-adamantyl-1,25-dihydroxy-2-methylene-22,23-didehydro-19,27-dinorvitamin D3 (ADMI1-4), which have the bulky and rigid adamantane ring system at the side chain terminus. These compounds had significant VDR affinity (1/6-1/30 that of the natural hormone) but their efficacies of transactivation in transient transcription assay was low (approximately 1/10). All ADMI compounds antagonized the action of 1,25(OH)2D3 in transient transcription assay in COS-7 cells with ADMI3 (20S,25S-isomer) was the most potent (IC50, 3 nM).

Several vitamin D analogues, with reduced hypercalcemic and hyperphosphatemic toxicity at therapeutic dosages, are in clinical use for prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in chronic renal failure. We have performed a first in vitro evaluation of five vitamin D analogues displaying less calcemic activity in normal rats, considerably more antiproliferative ability and higher transcription activation potential than 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)), with the future prospects in mind to identify even more effective and less calcemic vitamin D analogues for treatment of HPT. The vitamin D analogues EB1089 and GS1590 have polyunsaturated side-chains, whereas HEP187, MC1598 and CB1393 display altered stereochemistry at carbon 20.
