Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3; Colecalciferol), a secosteroid (a steroid molecule with one ring open), is a naturally occurring form of vitamin D. When it is metabolically activated, cholecalciferol transforms into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3, the active form that promotes cell differentiation and inhibits the growth of cancer cells. A steroid hormone called vitamin D3/cholecalciferol is created in the skin in response to UV light exposure or is acquired through diet. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, the active form of cholecalciferol, is crucial for preserving blood calcium and phosphorus levels as well as bone mineralization. Cholecalciferol that has been activated binds to vitamin D receptors and changes the expression of certain genes.
ln Vitro |
Vitamin D3 is an in vivo inactive molecule of vitamin D. To activate vitamin D3, it goes through two hydroxylation processes. The enzyme 25-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) and possibly other enzymes (such as CYP2R1) hydroxylate vitamin D3 in the liver to create the circulating prohormone 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 [25(OH)D3][1].
The kidneys use the enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase to carry out the second hydroxylation, resulting in 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, or calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D[1].
Vitamin D3 (2-10 μM; 24-48 hours) shows effects against proliferation that are dependent on both time and dose. After treating with 10 μM vitamin D3, the viability of 62% (IK), 52% (RL-95-2), and 55% (Hec-1A) is at its lowest point after 72 hours. However, there is no discernible decrease in viable cells after a 24-hour exposure[2].
Cholecalciferol (10 μM; 24-48 hours) exhibits notable increases in nuclear VDR staining and causes IK cells to become activated locally for VDR[1].

ln Vivo |
Cholecalciferol (oral gavage; 5 mg/kg; 7 days) increases the toxicity of CCl4 exclusively in the liver, as shown by elevated plasma levels of ALT and AST, two biochemical indicators of hepatic injury. Although renal calcium content does not significantly differ between mice, it significantly raises renal calcium levels in mice[3].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.41 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.08 mg/mL (5.41 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
