Abstract: | Structural similarities between 25S,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone and their concomitant multifold increase in the plasma of animals treated with pharmacological doses of vitamin D3 suggest a precursor-product relationship. However, a single dose of 25S,26-[3H]dihydroxyvitamin D3 given to rats treated chronically with pharmacological amounts of vitamin D3 did not result in detectable plasma 25-[3H]hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. Multiple doses of synthetic 25S,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 given to vitamin D3-deficient rats treated chronically with pharmacological amounts of vitamin D2 also did not result in detectable plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. Furthermore, homogenates prepared from vitamin d-deficient chickens, dosed with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, converted 25-[3H]hydroxyvitamin D3 to 25-[3H]hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. But these same homogenates did not convert 25S,26-[3H]dihydroxyvitamin D3 to 25-[3H]hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. These data indicate that 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is not an intermediate in 25-hydroxyvitamin D326, 23-lactone formation. |
