Abstract
First, the general structure and function of nuclear receptors (NRs) are described briefly to help our understanding of the mechanism of action of vitamin D mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the NRs. Then we discuss the structure-function relationship (SFR) of vitamin D on the basis of ligand structures and the interaction of the ligand with the VDR. The SFR of vitamin D side chain analogs is discussed extensively in terms of our active space group concept, which was derived from conformational analyses of the side chains of vitamin D analogs and from studies with conformationally restricted 22-methyl-1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) isomers. The mobile area of the side chain of vitamin D can be grouped into five regions (E, G, EA, EG, and F), and the SFR has been analyzed in terms of these spatial regions. The SFR of ligand/VDR interaction is discussed on the basis of the crystal structure of VDR-LBD(delta 165-215), docking of various vitamin D ligands into the ligand binding pocket (LBP) of the VDR, and functional analysis of amino acids lining the LBP. Finally, we discuss total SFR, combining the results of the two approaches, and future aspects of structure-based design of vitamin D analogs.

Abstract
We describe here for the first time the effect of introducing a 20-methyl group on the side-chain metabolism of the vitamin D molecule. Using a series of 20-methyl-derivatives of 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 incubated with two different cultured human cell lines, HPK1A-ras and HepG2, previously shown to metabolize vitamin D compounds, we obtained a series of metabolic products that were identified by comparison to chemically synthesized standards on HPLC and GC-MS. 24-Hydroxylated-, 24-oxo-hydroxylated-, and 24-oxo-23-hydroxylated products of 20-methyl-1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 were observed, but the efficiency of 23-hydroxylation was low as compared with that of the natural hormone and, in contrast to 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3, no truncated 23-alcohol was formed from the 20-methyl analog. These data, taken together with results from other analogs with changes in the vicinity of the C17-C20 positions, lead us to speculate that such changes must alter the accessibility of the C-23 position to the cytochrome P450 involved. Using the HepG2 cell line, we found evidence that the 24S-hydroxylated product of 20-methyl-1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 predominates, implying that the liver cytochrome involved in metabolism is a different isoform. Studies with a more metabolically resistant analog of the series, 20-methyl-Delta(23)-1alpha,25-(OH)2D3, gave the expected block in 23- and 24-hydroxylation, and evidence of an alternative pathway, namely 26-hydroxylation. 20-Methyl-Delta(23)-1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 was also more potent in biological assays, and the metabolic studies reported here help us to suggest explanations for this increased potency. We conclude that the 20-methyl series of vitamin D analogs offers new perspectives into vitamin D analog action, as well as insights into the substrate preferences of the cytochrome(s) P450 involved in vitamin D catabolism.

Abstract
The characterization of new conjugated vitamin D metabolites in rat bile was performed using HPLC, liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry combined derivatization, and GC-MS. After the administration of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) to rats, 23, 25-dihydroxy-24-oxovitamin D(3) 23-glucuronide, 3-epi-24, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) 24-glucuronide, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) 3-sulfate were obtained as new biliary metabolites together with 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) 3- and 24-glucuronides. The above metabolites, except 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) 3-glucuronide, were obtained from rats dosed with 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3). 23, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) 23-glucuronide was also obtained from the bile of rats administered 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) in addition to its 3-glucuronide, 25-glucuronide, and 3-sulfate. Thus, it was found that 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) were directly conjugated as glucuronide and sulfate, whereas at the C-23 position, they were hydroxylated and then conjugated. Furthermore, we found that the C-3 epimerization acts as one of the important pathways in vitamin D metabolism.

Abstract
In vivo metabolism of 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25-(OH)2D3) in female dogs has been studied thoroughly, and its major bile metabolite identified. After single oral administration of 24,25-(OH)2 [6,19,19-3H]D3 the plasma concentrations of radioactive metabolites were monitored for 504 h, and the metabolites in the bile collected and analyzed. The concentration of 24,25-(OH)2D3 in plasma reached a maximum after 6 h and decayed in two distinct phases; a fast-phase with a half-life of 17 h, followed by a slow-phase with a 17-day half-life. The area under the concentration/time curve (AUC) was 78-84% (0-504 h). The only detectable metabolite in the plasma was 25-hydroxy-24-oxovitamin D3 whose AUC was less than 5%. At 504 h, about 50% of administered radioactivity has been excreted, of which about 90% was found in the feces, indicating most of the administered 24,25-(OH)2D3 to be excreted in bile. A major metabolite, which constituted 23% of the total bile radioactivity at 504 h, was found in the bile. This metabolite was efficiently deconjugated by beta-glucuronidase to afford an aglycone which was identified as 23S,25-dihydroxy-24-oxovitamin D3 (23S,25-(OH)2-24-oxo-D3), by co-chromatography on HPLC with synthetic standards. The glucuronide was isolated from the bile of dogs given large doses of 24,25-(OH)2D3, and the structure determined being 23-(beta-glucuronide) of 23S,25-(OH)2-24-oxo-D3, by analyzing its negative ion mass spectrum and the positive ion mass spectrum of its derivatives. Thus it was concluded that, in dogs, 24,25-(OH)2D3 is a long lasting vitamin D metabolite, is mainly excreted in bile when metabolized to 23S,25-(OH)2-24-oxo-D3 and is conjugated at 23-OH as glucuronide.

Abstract
The sequential oxidation and cleavage of the side chain of 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3) initiated by the hydroxylation at C-24 is considered to be the major pathway of this hormone in the target cell metabolism. In this study, we examined renal metabolism of a synthetic analog of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, 24, 24-difluoro-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (F2-1alpha,25(OH)2D3), C-24 of which was designed to resist metabolic hydroxylation. When kidney homogenates prepared from 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-supplemented rats were incubated with F2-1alpha,25(OH)2D3, it was mainly converted to a more polar metabolite. We isolated and unequivocally identified the metabolite as 24,24-difluoro-1alpha,25,26-trihydroxyvitamin D3 (F2-1alpha,25,26(OH)3D3) by ultraviolet absorption spectrometry, frit-fast atom bombardment liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy analysis, and direct comparison with chemically synthesized F2-1alpha,25,26(OH)3D3. Metabolism of F2-1alpha,25(OH)2D3 into F2-1alpha,25,26(OH)3D3 by kidney homogenates was induced by the prior administration of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 into rats. The C-24 oxidation of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 in renal homogenates was inhibited by F2-1alpha,25(OH)2D3 in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, F2-1alpha,25,26(OH)3D3 was formed in ROS17/2.8 cells transfected with a plasmid expressing 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-24-hydroxylase (CYP24) but not in the cells transfected with that expressing vitamin D3-25-hydroxylase (CYP27) or containing inverted CYP27 cDNA. These results show that CYP24 catalyzes not only hydroxylation at C-24 and C-23 of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 but also at C-26 of F2-1alpha,25(OH)2D3, indicating that this enzyme has a broader substrate specificity of the hydroxylation sites than previously considered.

Abstract
Incubation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 with kidney cortex mitochondria from 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-treated guinea pigs resulted in the formation of 23,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 as the major product. The identity of the product was verified by g.c.-m.s. and quantification was performed by h.p.l.c. The rates of the reaction were in the range 1.0-1.8 pmol/min per mg of mitochondrial protein (at 37 degrees C), which were 5-10 times the rates of formation of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. In mitochondrial preparations from untreated guinea pigs, the rate of 23-hydroxylation was below detection limit (0.02 pmol/min per mg of mitochondrial protein). Fasting the animals for 24 h induced the 23-hydroxylase almost as efficiently as treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, with a concomitant depression of the 1 alpha-hydroxylase. The 23-hydroxylase reaction required oxidizable substrate, was decreased by low O2 partial pressures and inhibited by CO or the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. It was stimulated by the respiratory-chain inhibitors rotenone, antimycin A and KCN. These results indicate that the guinea-pig renal mitochondrial 23-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P-450 and that the reducing equivalents are primarily supplied by NADPH via the energy-dependent transhydrogenase.
