Pre-vitamin D3 decanoate

Pre-vitamin D3 decanoate is a derivative of vitamin D3 that can be converted into the active form of vitamin D in the body. Pre-vitamin D3 decanoate is first converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in the liver and then further converted to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the kidneys. During preparation, vitamin D3 may react with the triglycerides in the formulation to form ester compounds, and this esterification affects the stability and bioavailability of vitamin D3. Pre-vitamin D3 decanoate can be used in the study of certain diseases associated with vitamin D, such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers[1].
