Abstract
A new vitamin D metabolite was isolated in pure form from the blood of rats given oral doses of 50 μg/kg of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3. The isolation involved methanol-chloroform extraction and four successive column chromatographic procedures. A tentative structure of the metabolite is proposed on the basis of its column chromatographic behavior via mass spectrometry, ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry, and as 1α,3β,25-trihydroxy-9,10 (19)-cholestatrieno-26,23-lactone. The trivial name 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone is suggested for this compound.
