How Eldecalcitol works

Eldecalcitol [1a,25-DIHYDROXY-2ß-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D3] is an analog of 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], bearing a hydroxypropoxy residue at the 2b position. Eldecalcitol is also effective in increasing bone mass and was able to enhance bone strength in rodents. It binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) with less affinity but binds to vitamin D-binding protein with higher affinity than 1,25(OH)2D, showing a long half-life in plasma.
