Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholecalciferol is an inactive form of vitamin D3 which undergoes various levels of hydroxylation to form active vitamin D3 analogs. 1α-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (alfacalcidol) is a synthetic analog that is metabolized to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, the biologically active form of vitamin D3. Other analogues of cholecalciferol result from different hydroxylations. 24S,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 should not be confused with 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Vitamin D3 active metabolites 24R,25-(OH)2-D3, 24S,25-(OH)2-D3, and 1 alpha, 24R,25-(OH)3-D3 were synthesized by a convergent and stereoselective approach. In the synthetic route, the stereogenic center at C-24 was generated through ultrasonically induced aqueous conjugate addition of iodide 6 to Seebach's

Tritium-labeled 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was prepared both in vitro, by using chick kidney homogenates, and in vivo in rats from [26,27-methyl-3H]25-hydroxyvitamin D3. These compounds were mixed with synthetic 24(R),25- and 24(S),25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, converted to the corresponding trimethylsilyl ether derivatives, and analyzed

The ability of 24R, 25- and 24S, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol to stimulate intestinal calcium transport and bone calcium mobilization in chicks was measured. Enhancement of intestinal calcium transport by 325 or 130 nmoles of either compound was maximal by 24 hours. The

Vitamin D has long been prescribed as a supplement to breast cancer patients. This is partially motivated by data indicating that low serum vitamin D, measured as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], is associated with worsened cancer prognosis and decreased survival rates

Molecular cancer research : MCR, 19(1), 99-111 (2020-10-22)
Vitamin D3 and its metabolites have antitumorigenic properties in vitro and in vivo; however, clinical trials and retrospective studies on the effectiveness of vitamin D3 oral supplementation against cancer have been inconclusive. One reason for this may be that clinical
