• Description: Paricalcitol 25-b-D-glucuronide is a synthetic analogue of calcitriol, which is the active form of vitamin D. It is a high-purity glycosylate with an average molecular weight of 522.5 Da and a purity of >98%. Paricalcitol 25-b-D-glucuronide has been shown to be effective in prevention or treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This compound has shown to inhibit calcium absorption in the gut and increase urinary excretion of calcium. It also increases serum phosphate levels, which may lead to increased calcium phosphate deposition in bone. Paricalcitol 25-b-D-glucuronide is methylated at the 25 position, which prevents it from being metabolized by the liver. This modification allows for higher concentrations to be administered without causing toxicity.
