The present invention discloses a series of new carbonyl side chain anlogs of calcitriol (I). Unexpectedly, several of these ketone analogs, such as the 24- and 25-tert-butyl ketones, amides, hydroxymate esters and a hetero atom ketones even though lacking the classical side-chain tertiary hydroxyl group, are considerably more antiproliferative in vitro than the hormone calcitriol (I) even at physiologically relevant low nanomolar concentrations and are less calcemic than calcitriol (I) in vivo.
