Calcitroic acid-¹³C

Calcitroic acid-13C is the ¹³C-labeled Calcitroic acid (HY-N10508). Calcitroic acid is a water-soluble terminal vitamin D metabolite and also a ligand for vitamin D receptor (VDR). Calcitroic acid binds to the ligand-binding domain of VDR, forms a retinoic X receptor complex, recruits the coactivator peptide MED1, mediates partial VDR-dependent transcription, inhibits Calcitriol (HY-10002)-induced VDR activation, and reduces the transcription level of CYP24A1 in the presence of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃. Calcitroic acid exerts selective activating effects on VDR, upregulates the expression of CYP24A1 and CYP3A4, decreases the transcription levels of iNOS and IL-1β, reduces the secretion of nitric oxide and IL-1β, and possesses metabolic stability due to its resistance to phase I oxidation and hepatic glucuronidation. Calcitroic acid can be used in research related to colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and rickets.
