The difference of biological activity among four diastereoisomers of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-26,23-lactone. 1986

S Ishizuka, and A W Norman

All four possible diastereoisomers of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-26,23-lactone (1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone) were chemically synthesized and were compared to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1 alpha,25(OH)2D3) in terms of their stimulation, in vivo, of intestinal calcium transport and mobilization of calcium from bone in vitamin D-deficient rats (the two classic vitamin D-mediated responses), and their relative binding to the chick intestinal cytosol receptor for 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. The receptor binding affinity results are expressed as relative competitive index (RCI), where the RCI is defined as 100 for 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. The RCI obtained for 23(S)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 7.90, for 23(R)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 2.27, 23(S)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 0.17, for 23(R)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone 0.22 and for the in vivo produced 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone the RCI was only 0.17. Also the four diastereoisomers of 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone all stimulated intestinal calcium transport, reaching a maximum 8 h after administration. Compared with the stimulation of intestinal calcium transport by 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3, 23(S)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 1/4 as effective, 23(R)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 1/20 as effective, 23(S)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 1/74 as effective and 23(R)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone was 1/53 as effective. Similarly, 23(S)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone and 23(R)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone were estimated to be 3 and 20 times less active than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 in elevation of serum calcium. However, 23(S)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone and 23(R)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone decreased the serum calcium levels 24 h after administration. 23(S)25(R)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone reduced serum calcium concentrations to a greater extent than 23(R)25(S)-1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone. These results indicate that the biological activities of the diastereoisomers of 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone were quite different among four stereochemical configurations.

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288

It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
