Calcitroic acid
Calcitroic acid (1α-hydroxy-23-carboxy-24,25,26,27-tetranorvitamin D3) is a major metabolite of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol).[1] Often synthesized in the liver and kidneys, calcitroic acid is generated in the body after vitamin D is first converted into calcitriol, an intermediate in the fortification of bone through the formation and regulation of calcium in the body.[1] These pathways managed by calcitriol[2] are thought to be inactivated[3] through its hydroxylation by the enzyme CYP24A1, also called calcitriol 24-hydroxylase.[4] Specifically, It is thought to be the major route to inactivate vitamin D metabolites.[3]

Hydroxylation and further metabolism of calcitriol in the liver and the kidneys yields calcitroic acid, a water-soluble compound that is excreted in bile.[1]
In case where a higher concentration of this acid is used in vitro, studies determined that calcitroic acid binds to vitamin D receptor (VDR) and induces gene transcription.[1]
The compound has been prepared in the laboratory.[2]
