Abstract

A simple, reproducible method for the biological synthesis of tritiated 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, 25,26-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is described. Kidney homogenates from both vitamin D deficient and replete chicks were used in vitro to generate these dihydroxylated metabolites using 25 (23,24-3H) hydroxycholecalciferol as the substrate. Tritiated products were purified by Sephadex LH 20 chromatography followed by high-performance liquid chromatography; the identity of each metabolite was established by chromatography with authentic crystalline preparations.
