DESCRIPTION
Calcitriol Injection is synthetically manufactured calcitriol and is
available as a sterile, isotonic, clear,
colorless to yellow, aqueous solution for intravenous injection.
Calcitriol Injection is available in 1 mL
ampules. Each 1 mL contains calcitriol 1 mcg; polysorbate 20, 4 mg;
edetate disodium dehydrate 1.1 mg;
sodium phosphate dibasic 7.6 mg; sodium phosphate monobasic 1.8 mg;
sodium chloride 1.5 mg;
sodium ascorbate 10 mg. pH 6.6 (5.9 - 7.0).
Calcitriol is a crystalline compound which occurs naturally in humans.
It is soluble in organic solvents
but relatively insoluble in water. Calcitriol is chemically designated
(5Z,7E)-9, 10-secocholesta-
5,7,10(19)-triene-1-(alpha),3 (beta),25-triol and has the following
structural formula:
Molecular Formula: C
H O
The other names frequently used for calcitriol are
1(alpha),25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, 1(alpha),25-
dihydroxyvitamin D , 1,25-DHCC, 1,25(OH) D and 1,25-diOHC.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Calcitriol is the active form of Vitamin D (cholecalciferol). The
natural or endogenous supply of
vitamin D in man mainly depends on ultraviolet light for conversion of
7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin
D in the skin. Vitamin D must be metabolically activated in the liver
and the kidney before it is fully
active on its target tissues. The initial transformation is catalyzed
by a vitamin D -25-hydroxylase
enzyme present in the liver, and the product of this reaction is
25-(OH)D (calcifediol). The latter
undergoes hydroxylation in the mitochondria of kidney tissue, and this
reaction is activated by the renal
25-hydroxyvitamin D -1-(alpha)-hydroxylase to produce 1,25-(OH) D
(calcitriol), the active form of
vitamin D .
The known sites of action of calcitriol are intestine, bone, kidney
and parathyroid gland. Calcitriol is the
