Metabolite Identification
Common NameErgocalciferol
DescriptionErgocalciferol, also known as vitamin D2 or viosterol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as vitamin d and derivatives. Vitamin D and derivatives are compounds containing a secosteroid backbone, usually secoergostane or secocholestane. Thus, ergocalciferol is considered to be a secosteroid lipid molecule. Ergocalciferol is a drug which is used for use in the management of hypocalcemia and its clinical manifestations in patients with hypoparathyroidism, as well as for the treatment of familial hypophosphatemia (vitamin d resistant rickets). this drug has also been used in the treatment of nutritional rickets or osteomalacia, vitamin d dependent rickets, rickets or osteomalacia secondary to long-term high dose anticonvulsant therapy, early renal osteodystrophy, osteoporosis (in conjunction with calcium), and hypophosphatemia associated with fanconi syndrome (with treatment of acidosis). Ergocalciferol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Ergocalciferol is a potentially toxic compound.
