Chemical structure

| Cell experiment [1,2]: | |
Cell lines | Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, plasmacyoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and conventional DCs |
Preparation method | The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >13.65mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. |
Reacting condition | 0.1-10 μM, 2 hours |
Applications | Calcifediol induced CYP24A1 expression with EC50 of 70 nM. Calcifediol stimulated the expression of thrombomodulin with EC50 at 10-100 nM. Calcifediol (0.1-10 μM) dose-dependently induced VDR translocation into the nucleus. Calcifediol led to significant expression of Cyp24A1 in moDCs after 16 hours. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Wistar-Kyoto rats |
Dosage form | 50 ng/d calcifediol for 3 days |
Application | In spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, calcifediol (50 ng/d for 3 days), calcifediol increased total cell and brush border calbindin-D9K. |
Other notes | Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation is associated with cardiovascular and survival benefits in chronic kidney disease patients. Calcifediol, also known as calcidiol, is a prehormone that is produced in the liver by hydroxylation of vitamin D3.
In vitro: Calcifediol induced CYP24A1 expression with EC50 at 70 nM. Calcifediol stimulated the expression of thrombomodulin with EC50 at 10-100 nM. Confocal microscopy revealed that calcifediol at 0.1 - 10 μM induced VDR translocation into the nucleus dose-dependently; the VDR localization pattern was similar in cells treated with calcitriol [1].
In vivo: Spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were injected with either 50 ng/d calcifediol or vehicle alone for 3 days. Decreased calbindin-D9K and cellular Ca2+ flux were observed in control SHR. Calcifediol increased total cell and brush border calbindin-D9K. In contrast, Ca2+ flux, which increased in vit-D animals, remained lower in SHR for plasma calcitriol levels similar to those in WKY rats [2].
Clinical trial: Calcifediol given daily, weekly, or as a single bolus is about 2-3 times more potent in increasing plasma 25(OH)D3 concentrations than vitamin D3. Plasma 25(OH)D3 concentrations of 30 ng/mL were reached more rapidly and reliably with calcifediol [3].
