Кальцитриол

Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D and is also a kind of hormones in the body. It plays an important role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus concentration. It can increase the blood calcium level by increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium and can also increase the release of the bone calcium release for increasing the blood calcium levels. Plasma levels of calcitriol range from 10-70 pg/ml. Clinically, this drug can be used in the treatment of hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism (adult), osteomalacia, rickets (infants), chronic kidney disease, renal osteodystrophy, osteoporosis, as well as the prevention of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis.

ChEBI: Calcitriol is a hydroxycalciol that is calcidiol in which the pro-S hydrogen of calcidiol is replaced by a hydroxy group. It is the active form of vitamin D3, produced fom calciol via hydoxylation in the liver to form calcidiol, which is subsequently oxidised in the kidney to give calcitriol. It has a role as a bone density conservation agent, an antipsoriatic, an immunomodulator, an antineoplastic agent, a calcium channel modulator, a nutraceutical, a calcium channel agonist, a metabolite, a hormone, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a hydroxycalciol, a member of D3 vitamins and a triol.

1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D₃, also referred as calcitriol, is a calcitrophic hormone. It is the most biologically active metabolite of vitamin D produced in proximal tubular cells in the kidney.

Active metabolite of vitamin D 3 that activates the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Displays calcemic actions; stimulates intestinal and renal Ca 2+ absorption and regulates bone Ca 2+ turnover. Exhibits antitumor activity; inhibits in vivo and in vitro cell proliferation in a wide range of cells including breast, prostate, colon, skin and brain carcinomas and myeloid leukemia cells.
