Cat. No.: HY-32351A Purity: 99.98%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Calcifediol monohydrate (25-hydroxy Vitamin D3 monohydrate), is an effective VDR ligand and VD supplement. Calcifediol is a prohormone of the vitamin D endocrine system (VDES) and is hydroxylated in the liver to produce the active form, calcitriol. Calcifediol can rapidly increase serum VD levels.

    Description

    Calcifediol monohydrate (25-hydroxy Vitamin D3 monohydrate), is an effective VDR ligand and VD supplement. Calcifediol is a prohormone of the vitamin D endocrine system (VDES) and is hydroxylated in the liver to produce the active form, calcitriol. Calcifediol can rapidly increase serum VD levels[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target[1]

    Human Endogenous Metabolite

     

    In Vitro

    Calcifediol in either liposomes or ethanolic solution has no effect on the release of the proinflammatory cytokine KC from Pseudomonas-infected murine epithelial cells. Treatment of infected, human bronchial 16-HBE cells with Calcifediol liposomes results in a significant reduction in bacterial survival[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.97 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.97 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
