Previtamin D3

Overview

Previtamin D3 is an orally active, thermolabile steroidal compound that generates vitamin D3, as well as biologically inactive lumisterol and tachysterol. Previtamin D3 is synthesized in the skin of humans and rats via the UV-B-mediated photoconversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol. Previtamin D3 lacks direct anti-rachitic activity, and its in vivo activity relies on the vitamin D3 it produces. Previtamin D3 can be used in studies related to rickets and vitamin D metabolism.
