Ergocalciferol
Ergocalciferol appears as odorless white crystals. Used as a dietary supplement and food additive. (EPA, 1998) Vitamin D2 is a vitamin D supplement and has been isolated from alfalfa. It has a role as a nutraceutical, a bone density conservation agent, a rodenticide and a plant metabolite. It is a seco-ergostane, a hydroxy seco-steroid and a vitamin D. Ergocalciferol is an inactivated vitamin D analog. It is synthesized by some plants in the presence of UVB light. The production of ergocalciferol was prompted by the identification of dietary deficiency, more specifically vitamin D, as the main causative factor for the development of rickets. Ergocalciferol was isolated for the first time from yeast in 1931 and its structure was elucidated in 1932. Ergocalciferol is considered the first vitamin D analog and is differentiated from [cholecalciferol] by the presence of a double bond between C22 and C23 and the presence of a methyl group at C24. These modifications reduce the affinity of ergocalciferol for the vitamin D binding protein resulting in faster clearance, limits its activation, and alters its catabolism. The first approved product containing ergocalciferol under the FDA records was developed by US Pharm Holdings and was FDA approved in 1941. Ergocalciferol is a Provitamin D2 Compound. Ergocalciferol is a natural product found in Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, Humulus lupulus, and other organisms with data available. Ergocalciferol is vitamin D2, a fat-soluble vitamin important for many biochemical processes including the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. In vivo, ergocalciferol is formed after sun (ultraviolet) irradiation of plant-derived ergosterol, another form of vitamin D. Ergocalciferol is the form of vitamin D usually found in vitamin supplements. (NCI04) Ergocalciferol is a form of Vitamin D, also called vitamin D2. It is created from viosterol, which in turn is created when ultraviolet light activates ergosterol. Ergocalciferol is used in the treatment of hypcalcemia and in dialysis-dependent renal failure. Ergoalcifediol is a fat soluble steroid hormone precursor of vitamin D that contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the bloodstream. Vitamin D2 is the form of vitamin D most commonly added to foods and nutritional supplements. Vitamin D2 must be transformed (hydroxylated) into one of two active forms via the liver or kidney. Once transformed, it binds to the vitamin D receptor that then leads to a variety of regulatory roles. Derivatives of ERGOSTEROL formed by ULTRAVIOLET RAYS breaking of the C9-C10 bond.

Vitamin D3
Vitamin d3 appears as fine colorless crystals. Water insoluble. (NTP, 1992) Calciol is a hydroxy seco-steroid that is (5Z,7E)-9,10-secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene in which the pro-S hydrogen at position 3 has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It is the inactive form of vitamin D3, being hydroxylated in the liver to calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3), which is then further hydroxylated in the kidney to give calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), the active hormone. It has a role as a human metabolite and a geroprotector. It is a seco-cholestane, a hydroxy seco-steroid, a member of D3 vitamins, a secondary alcohol and a steroid hormone. Vitamin D, in general, is a secosteroid generated in the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol located there interacts with ultraviolet irradiation - like that commonly found in sunlight. Both the endogenous form of vitamin D (that results from 7-dehydrocholesterol transformation), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), and the plant-derived form, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), are considered the main forms of vitamin d and are found in various types of food for daily intake. Structurally, ergocalciferol differs from cholecalciferol in that it possesses a double bond between C22 and C23 and has an additional methyl group at C24. Finally, ergocalciferol is pharmacologically less potent than cholecalciferol, which makes vitamin D3 the preferred agent for medical use. Appropriate levels of vitamin D must be upheld in the body in order to maintain calcium and phosphorus levels in a healthy physiologic range to sustain a variety of metabolic functions, transcription regulation, and bone metabolism. However, studies are also ongoing to determine whether or not cholecalciferol may also play certain roles in cancer, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and other medical conditions that may be associated with vitamin D deficiency. Cholecalciferol is a Vitamin D. Cholecalciferol is a natural product found in Taiwanofungus camphoratus, Theobroma cacao, and other organisms with data available. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from dietary sources. The active form of cholecalciferol, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) plays an important role in maintaining blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. The activated form of cholecalciferol binds to vitamin D receptors and modulates gene expression. This leads to an increase in serum calcium concentrations by increasing intestinal absorption of phosphorus and calcium, promoting distal renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and increasing osteoclastic resorption. Cholecalciferol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a derivative of 7-dehydroxycholesterol formed by ultraviolet rays breaking of the C9-C10 bond. It differs from ergocalciferol in having a single bond between C22 and C23 and lacking a methyl group at C24. [PubChem]The first step involved in the activation of vitamin D3 is a 25-hydroxylation which is catalysed by the 25-hydroxylase in the liver and then by other enzymes. The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase catalyses the first reaction in the oxidation of the side chain of sterol intermediates. The active form of vitamin D3 (calcitriol) binds to intracellular receptors that then function as transcription factors to modulate gene expression. Like the receptors for other steroid hormones and thyroid hormones, the vitamin D receptor has hormone-binding and DNA-binding domains. The vitamin D receptor forms a complex with another intracellular receptor, the retinoid-X receptor, and that heterodimer is what binds to DNA. In most cases studied, the effect is to activate transcription, but situations are also known in which vitamin D suppresses transcription. Calcitriol increases the serum calcium concentrations by: increasing GI absorption of phosphorus and calcium, increasing osteoclastic resorption, and increasing distal renal tubula... Vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, is one of the forms of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone that has long been known for its important role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, in mineralization of bone, and for the assimilation of Vitamin A. It is structurally similar to steroids such as testosterone, cholesterol, and cortisol (although vitamin D3, itself, is a secosteroid). Vitamin D3 is a derivative of 7-dehydroxycholesterol formed by ultraviolet rays breaking the C9-C10 bond. It differs from ergocalciferol in having a single bond between C22 and C23 and lacking a methyl group at C24. Vitamin D3 can also come from dietary sources, such as beef liver, cheese, egg yolks, and fatty fish (PubChem). The first step involved in the activation of vitamin D3 is a 25-hydroxylation catalyzed by 25-hydroxylase in the liver and then by other enzymes. The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase catalyzes the first reaction in the oxidation of the side chain of sterol intermediates.

The vitamin D receptor forms a complex with another intracellular receptor, the retinoid-X receptor, and that heterodimer is what binds to DNA. In most cases studied, the effect is to activate transcription, but situations are also known in which vitamin D suppresses transcription. Calcitriol increases the serum calcium concentrations by (1) increasing GI absorption of phosphorus and calcium, (2) increasing osteoclastic resorption, and (3) increasing distal renal tubular reabsorption of calcium. Calcitriol appears to promote intestinal absorption of calcium through binding to the vitamin D receptor in the mucosal cytoplasm of the intestine. Subsequently, calcium is absorbed through the formation of a calcium-binding protein. Vitamin d, also known as colecalciferol or calciol, belongs to vitamin d and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a secosteroid backbone, usually secoergostane or secocholestane. Thus, vitamin d is considered to be a secosteroid lipid molecule. Vitamin d is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Vitamin d can be found in a number of food items such as dumpling, vinegar, chocolate, and margarine, which makes vitamin d a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Vitamin d can be found primarily in blood and urine. Vitamin d is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Vitamin d is a drug which is used for the treatment of vitamin d deficiency or insufficiency, refractory rickets (vitamin d resistant rickets), familial hypophosphatemia and hypoparathyroidism, and in the management of hypocalcemia and renal osteodystrophy in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis. also used in conjunction with calcium in the management and prevention of primary or corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

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.--PubChem [HMDB] The physiologically active form of vitamin D.

Calcidiol
Calfcifediol is a prehormone that is produced in the liver by hydroxylation of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) by the enzyme cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase. Calcifediol is then converted in the kidneys into calcitriol (1,25-(OH)2D3), a secosteroid hormone that is the active form of vitamin D. It can also be converted into 24-hydroxycalcidiol in the kidneys via 24-hydroxylation. [Wikipedia]. 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol is found in many foods, some of which are green zucchini, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and other animal fat. The major circulating metabolite of vitamin D3 (calciferon). It is produced in the liver and is the best indicator of the bodys vitamin D stores. It is effective in the treatment of rickets and osteomalacia, both in azotemic and non-azotemic patients. Calcifediol also has mineralizing properties.

Dihydrotachysterol
Dihydrotachysterol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a vitamin D that can be regarded as a reduction product of vitamin D2. [PubChem]Once hydroxylated to 25-hydroxydihydrotachysterol, the modified drug binds to the vitamin D receptor. The bound form of the vitamin D receptor serves as a transcriptional regulator of bone matrix proteins, inducing the expression of osteocalcin and suppressing synthesis of type I collagen. Vitamin D (when bound to the vitamin D receptor)stimulates the expression of a number of proteins involved in transporting calcium from the lumen of the intestine, across the epithelial cells and into blood. This stimulates intestinal calcium absorption and increases renal phosphate excretion. These are functions that are normally carried out by the parathyroid hormone.

24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D
24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D (24R,25(OH)2D3) circulates in blood at concentrations about 1000 times higher than 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. 24-Hydroxylase is present in the proximal convoluted tubule cells of the kidney and in virtual all target cells of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Interestingly, 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 is a very strong inducer of 24-hydroxylase activity and 24R,25(OH)2D3 formation. Also parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates 24-hydroxylase activity but in a tissue specific manner, i.e. inhibitory in the kidney while a synergistic effect together with 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 is observed in osteoblasts. Generally, 24-hydroxylation has been considered the first step in the degradation pathway of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 and 25-(OH)D3. However, through the past decades data have accumulated that 24R,25(OH)2D3 is not merely a degradation product but has effects on its own. Classic studies have demonstrated the significance of 24R,25(OH)2D3 for normal chicken egg hatchability and calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. More recently it became apparent that 24R,25(OH)2D3 also has distinct effects on cartilage in particular the resting zone cells. 24R,25(OH)2D3 stimulates osteocalcin synthesis in human osteoblasts. 24R,25(OH)2D3 plays a role in bone metabolism but that it acts in concert with 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 to obtain an optimal effect.

Paricalcitol
Paricalcitol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a synthetic vitamin D analog. Paricalcitol has been used to reduce parathyroid hormone levels. Paricalcitol is indicated for the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure.Paricalcitol is biologically active vitamin D analog of calcitriol with modifications to the side chain (D2) and the A (19-nor) ring. Preclinical andin vitro studies have demonstrated that paricalcitols biological actions are mediated through binding of the VDR, which results in the selective activation of vitamin D responsive pathways. Vitamin D and paricalcitol have been shown to reduce parathyroid hormone levels by inhibiting PTH synthesis and secretion.

Calcitroic acid
Calcitroic acid (1 alpha-hydroxy-23 carboxy-24,25,26,27-tetranorvitamin D(3)) is a metabolite of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (calcitriol). It is soluble in water, and is excreted in urine. This deactivation process involves a series of oxidation reactions at C24 and C23 leading to side-chain cleavage and, ultimately, formation of the calcitroic acid. This deactivation involves the loss of carbons 24, 25, 26, and 27 and the oxidation of carbon 23 to a carboxylic acid. Calcitroic acid is also a major terminal product for the deactivation of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2. Both the kidney and the intestine metabolize 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 through the C-24 oxidation pathway according to the following steps: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3----1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3----1,25-dihydroxy-24-oxovitamin D3-----1,23,25-trihydroxy-24-oxovitamin D3 (PMID: 2719932). The C-24 oxidation pathway leading to the formation of calcitroic acid has been reported to be present in bone cells, but the C-23 oxidation pathway leading to the formation of 1 alpha, 25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone has not been described in bone cells, even though 1 alpha, 25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone is noted to have a significant effect on bone formation.

24-Hydroxycalcitriol
24-Hydroxycalcitriol stimulates intestinal calcium transport but not bone calcium mobilization or phosphate transport reactions. (PMID: 163578). Vitamin D-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase) is a cytochrome P-450 enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] to 24-Hydroxycalcitriol (1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3). (PMID: 9165006). The administration of 24-Hydroxycalcitriol at doses of 0.2 and 0.3 microg/kg/day produced strong anabolic effects, especially on vertebral cancellous bone that can prevent estrogen depletion-induced bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. (PMID: 9115161). 24-Hydroxycalcitriol stimulates intestinal calcium transport but not bone calcium mobilization or phosphate transport reactions. (PMID: 163578)

23S,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
23S,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (23S,25-(OH)2D3) is a circulating metabolite of vitamin D3 during vitamin D excess. During hypocalcemia or hypovitaminosis D, 25-OH-D3 is 1alpha-hydroxylated, primarily in kidney, to produce 1,25-(OH)2D3. 1,25-(OH)2D3 is a hormonally active form of vitamin D3 that enhances intestinal calcium transport and promotes mobilization of calcium from bone. In states of vitamin D excess, other pathways of 25-OH-D3 metabolism emerge as alternatives to 1-and 24-hydroxylation. Recently, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone (lactone) was identified as a major plasma metabolite in animals receiving large doses of vitamin D. Although the function of the lactone is not known, its 5-fold greater potency of binding to the plasma vitamin D carrier protein, relative to 25-OH-D3, suggests that it may, perhaps indirectly, contribute to vitamin D toxicity. This indicates the existence of an alternate route to lactone formation through a new 25-OH-D3 metabolite, 23,25-(OH)2D3.

Ercalcitriol
Ercalcitriol is the active circulating metabolite of vitamin D2. Vitamin D2 is modified by 25-hydroxylase in the liver and 25-hydroxyvitamin D *-hydroxylase in the kidney to form the active metabolite, ercalcitriol, which is then metabolized by 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase, CYP24A1, EC 1.14.13.13). The binding of ercalcitriol or their analogs to Vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear receptor, activates VDR to interact with retinoid X receptor (RXR) and forms the VDR/RXR/cofactor complex, which binds to Vitamin D response elements in the promoter region of target genes to regulate gene transcription. The kidney is the major site of 25-hydroxyvitamin D*-hydroxylase (CYP27B1, EC 1.14.13.13), which is responsible for the activation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Of all the steroid hormones, ercalcitriol represents the most difficult challenge to the analytical biochemist with respect to quantization. Ercalcitriol circulates at pmol concentrations, is highly lipophilic and its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, circulates at nmol levels.

Of all the steroid hormones, ercalcitriol represents the most difficult challenge to the analytical biochemist with respect to quantization. Ercalcitriol circulates at pmol concentrations, is highly lipophilic and its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, circulates at nmol levels. (PMID: 16242929, 17867378, 17197173).

24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3
24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, also known as 24(R),25(OH)2D3, is a vitamin D metabolite; a dihydroxylated form of the seco-steroid. With the identification of a target cell, the growth plate resting zone (RC) chondrocyte, studies indicate that there are specific membrane-associated signal transduction pathways that mediate both rapid, nongenomic, and genomic responses of RC cells to 24(R),25(OH)2D3. These studies indicate that 24(R),25(OH)2D3 plays an important role in endochondral ossification by regulating less mature chondrocytes and promoting their maturation in the endochondral lineage. 24(R),25(OH)2D3 binds RC chondrocyte membranes with high specificity, increasing protein kinase C (PKC) activity. The effect is stereospecific; 24R,25(OH)2D3, but not 24S,25(OH)2D3, causes the increase, indicating a receptor-mediated response. Phospholipase D-2 (PLD2) activity is increased, resulting in increased production of diacylglycerol (DAG), which in turn activates PKC. 24(R),25(OH)2D3 does not cause translocation of PKC to the plasma membrane but activates existing PKCα. There is a rapid decrease in Ca2+ efflux, and the influx is stimulated. 24(R),25(OH)2D3 also reduces arachidonic acid release by decreasing phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity, thereby decreasing the available substrate for prostaglandin production via the action of cyclooxygenase-1. PGE2 that is produced acts on the EP1 and EP2 receptors expressed by RC cells to downregulate PKC via protein kinase A, but the reduction in PGE2 decreases this negative feedback mechanism. Both pathways converge on MAP kinase, leading to new gene expression. One consequence of this is the production of new matrix vesicles containing PKCα and PKCγ, and an increase in PKC activity. The chondrocytes also produce 24(R),25(OH)2D3, and the secreted metabolite acts directly on the matrix vesicle membrane. Only PKCγ is directly affected by 24(R),25(OH)2D3 in the matrix vesicles, and activity of this isoform is inhibited. This effect may be involved in the control of matrix maturation and turnover. 24(R),25(OH)2D3 causes RC cells to mature along the endochondral developmental pathway, where they become responsive to 1α,25(OH)2D3 and lose responsiveness to 24(R),25(OH)2D3, a characteristic of more mature growth zone (GC) chondrocytes. 1α,25(OH)2D3 elicits its effects on GC through different signal transduction pathways than those used by 24(R),25(OH)2D3 (PMID: 11179745). 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24(R),25(OH)2D3 ) is a vitamin D metabolite, a dihydroxylated form of the seco-steroid.

Tachysterol 3
Tachysterol 3 is a normal human secosterooid metabolite from the class of vitamin D3 photoisomer derivatives. It is synthesized from 7-Dehydrocholesterol in the epidermis in response to ultraviolet irradiation. When human skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, epidermal 7-dehydrocholesterol is converted to previtamin D, and during prolonged exposure, the synthesis of previtamin D3 reaches a plateau at about 10 to 15 percent of the original 7-dehydrocholesterol content, and previtamin D3 is photoisomerized to two biologically inert isomers and tachysterol 3 is one of them (the other one being lumisterol 3). Therefore, tachysterol is a metabolite to chronic exposure to sunlight. Tachysterol 3, as well as other photoisomers of vitamin D3 and previtamin D3 has been demonstrated to have inhibited keratinocyte proliferation. Thus, sunlight provides vitamin D3 photoproducts that may act directly to regulate epidermal proliferation and differentiation under physiologic conditions.

5,6-trans-Vitamin D3
5,6-trans-vitamin D3 is the result of photodegradation of vitamin D3, and once formed in the skin, exposure to sunlight results in its rapid photodegradation to a variety of photoproducts. During chronic exposure to sunlight vitamin D3 in the skin can be photoisomerized to a variety of photoproducts, including 5,6-trans-vitamin D3. Because 5,6-Trans-vitamin D3 is a photoproduct of vitamin D3 and have a pseudo-1-alpha-hydroxyl structure due to the 180-degree rotation of the 3-hydroxyl group during isomerization. 5,6-trans-vitamin D3 can mimic the intestinal calcium transport activity of 1alpha,25(OH)2D (the active form of vitamine D).

5,6-trans-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3
5,6-trans-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 is a vitamin D3 derivative, and is found in normal plasma. 5,6-trans-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 is a 25-hydroxylated metabolite of the secosteroid that is active in inhibiting 3H-thymidine incorporation into cultured normal human keratinocytes. The evidence strongly supports the existence of a heretofore unknown metabolic route in vitamin DS metabolism, namely, the conversion of 5,6-cis compounds to 5,6-trans compounds. The mechanism of this transformation is not clear at present; it could be enzymatic or nonenzymatic. The site of formation of 5,6-trans-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is unknown.

25-Hydroxytachysterol3
25-Hydroxytachysterol3 is a hydroxylated derivative of tachysterol3. 25-hydroxytachysterol is converted to 25-hydroxyprevitamin D3, which is then converted to the hydroxyvitamin D3 through a thermally induced rearrangement. It is now established that, during exposure to sunlight, the cutaneous reservoir of 7-dehydrocholesterol converts to previtamin D3. Once this thermally labile previtamin is formed, it undergoes a temperature-dependent isomerization to vitamin D3 over a period of 3 days. The plasma vitamin-D binding protein preferentially translocates vitamin D3 from the skin into the circulation. During prolonged exposure to the sun, the accumulation of previtamin D3 is limited to about 10 to 15\\% of the original 7-dehydrocholesterol content because the previtamin photoisomerizes to 2 biologically inert photoproducts, lumisterol3 and tachysterol3.

Alfacalcidol
Alfacalcidol is an active metabolite of Vitamin D, which performs important functions in regulation of the calcium balance and the bone metabolism. Alfacalcidol is Vitamin D-hormone analog which is activated by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase in the liver for systemic and in osteoblasts for local D-hormone actions. It possesses a unique pattern of pleiotropic effects on, e.g. gut, bone, pararthyroids, muscle and brain. Alfacalcidol is superior to plain vitamin D (cholecalciferol) because the final kidney activation of the latter is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism. (PMID:17438884,17668216).

Calcipotriol
Calcipotriol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a synthetic derivative of calcitriol or Vitamin D.The precise mechanism of calcipotriol in remitting psoriasis is not well-understood. However, it has been shown to have comparable affinity with calcitriol for the Vitamin D receptor, while being less than 1\\% as active as the calcitriol in regulating calcium metabolism. The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) belongs to the steroid/thyroid receptor superfamily, and is found on the cells of many different tissues including the thyroid, bone, kindney, and T cells of the immune system. T cells are known to play a role in psoriasis, and it is thought that the binding of calcipotriol to the VDR modulates the T cells gene transcription of cell differentiation and proliferation related genes.
