Ergocalciferol is indicated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, refractory rickets, and familial hypophosphatemia. Hypoparathyroidism is the result of inadequate parathyroid hormone production that occurs due to the presence of damage or removal of the parathyroid glands. This condition produces decreased calcium and increased phosphorus levels. Rickets is a condition produced due to a deficiency in vitamin D, calcium or phosphorus. However, this condition can also be related to renal diseases. It is characterized to present weak or soft bones. Familial hypophosphatemia is characterized by the impaired transport of phosphate and an altered vitamin D metabolism in the kidneys. The presence of this condition can derive in the presence of osteomalacia, bone softening and rickets.
FDA Label
After the activation of the vitamin D receptor, some of the biological changes produced by ergocalciferol include mobilization and accretion of calcium and phosphorus in the bone, absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine, and reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus in the kidney. Some other effects known to be produced due to the presence of vitamin D are osteoblast formation, fetus development, induction of pancreatic function, induction of neural function, improvement of immune function, cellular growth and cellular differentiation. When compared to its vitamin D counterpart [cholecalciferol], ergocalciferol has been shown to present a reduced induction of calcidiol and hence, it is less potent. Ergocalciferol supplementation in patients with end-stage renal disease has been shown to generate a significant benefit in lab parameters of bone and mineral metabolism as well as improvement in glycemic control, serum albumin levels and reduced levels of inflammatory markers.

Absorption
Ergocalciferol is absorbed in the intestine and carried to the liver in chylomicrons. Its intestinal absorption does not present limitations unless the presence of conditions related to fat malabsorption. However, for absorption to take place, the presence of bile is required.
Route of Elimination
The active form of ergocalciferol, calcitrol, cannot be maintained for long periods in storage tissue mainly in periods of dietary or UVB deprivation. Therefore, ergocalciferol and its metabolites are excreted via the bile with a minor contribution of renal elimination. This major fecal elimination is explained due to the cubilin-megalin receptor system-mediated renal reuptake of vitamin D metabolites bound to vitamin D binding protein.
Volume of Distribution
The amount of circulating ergocalciferol is very limited as this compound is rapidly stored in fat tissue such as adipose tissue, liver and muscle. This is very obvious in reports that indicate that circulating ergocalciferol is significantly reduced in obese patients.
Clearance
There are no formal reports regarding the clearance rate of ergocalciferol. Due to the structural similarity, it is recommended to consult this parameter with [cholecalciferol]. On the other hand, the proposed renal clearance of calcitriol is of 31 ml/min.
Both vitamin D2 & vitamin D3 are absorbed from the small intestine, although vitamin D3 may be absorbed more efficiently. The exact portion of the gut that is most effective in vitamin D absorption reflects the vehicle in which the vitamin is dissolved. Most of the vitamin appears first within chylomicrons in lymph.

The presence of bile is required for absorption of ergocalciferol and the extent of GI absorption may be decreased in patients with hepatic, biliary, or GI disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, Whipple's disease, sprue).

A longitudinal, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study was conducted for 6 months to monitor ultraviolet B light exposure in human milk-fed infants both with and without supplemental vitamin D2, and to measure longitudinally the bone mineral content, growth, and serum concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone. Sequential sampling was performed of 46 human milk-fed white infants; 24 received 400 IU/day of vitamin D2, and 22 received placebo. An additional 12 patients were followed who received standard infant formula. 83% of patients completed a full 6 months of the study. Ultraviolet B light exposure and measurements of growth did not differ between groups. At 6 months, the human milk groups did not differ significantly in bone mineral content or serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, although total 25-hydroxyvitamin D values were significantly less in the unsupplemented human milk group (23.53 + or - 9.94 vs 36.96 + or - 11.86 ng/ml; p< 0.01). However, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 serum concentrations were significantly higher in the unsupplemented human milk-fed group compared with the supplemented group (21.77 + or - 9.73 vs 11.74 + or - 10.27 ng/ml, p< 0.01) by 6 months of age. It was concluded that unsupplemented, human milk-fed infants had no evidence of vitamin D deficiency during the first 6 months of life.

A comparison was made of the ability of ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol to elevate plasma concentrations of vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D in cats. Cholecalciferol, given as an oral bolus in oil, resulted in a rapid elevation of plasma concentration of cholecalciferol followed by a rapid decline. In contrast, 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration in plasma increased until day 3 after administration and remained elevated for a further 5 days. When 337 microg of both cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol in oil were given as an oral bolus to 10 cats, the peak plasma concentrations of cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol occurred at 8 or 12 h after administration. Peak concentrations of cholecalciferol were over twice those of ergocalciferol (570 +/- 80 vs. 264 +/- 42 nmol/l). The area under the curve 0-169 h for cholecalciferol was also more than twice that for ergocalciferol. When ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol were administered in a parenteral oil-based emulsion, higher concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 than 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 were maintained in plasma. When both vitamins were included in the diet in the nutritional range, plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 were 0.68 of those of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Discrimination against ergocalciferol by cats appears to result from differences in affinity of the binding protein for the metabolites of the two forms of vitamin D. These results indicate that cats discriminate against ergocalciferol, and use it with an efficiency of 0.7 of that of cholecalciferol to maintain plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration.

Osteoporosis diminishes the quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Vitamin D deficiency resulting from malabsorption may be a factor in the etiology of low bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with CF. OBJECTIVE: Absorption of oral ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and the consequent response of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in 10 adults with CF and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was compared with that of 10 healthy control subjects. DESIGN: In this pharmacokinetic study, CF patients and control subjects were pair-matched on age, sex, and race. Each subject consumed 2500 microg oral vitamin D2 with a meal. The CF group also took pancreatic enzymes that provided > or = 80000 U lipase. Blood samples were obtained at baseline and at 5, 10, 24, 30, and 36 h after vitamin D2 consumption to measure serum vitamin D2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. RESULTS: Vitamin D2 concentrations in all subjects were near zero at baseline. CF patients absorbed less than one-half the amount of oral vitamin D2 that was absorbed by control subjects (P < 0.001). Absorption by the CF patients varied greatly; 2 patients absorbed virtually no vitamin D2. The rise in 25-hydroxyvitamin D in response to vitamin D2 absorption was significantly lower over time in the CF group than in the control group (P = 0.0012). CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D2 absorption was significantly lower in CF patients than in control subjects. These results may help explain the etiology of vitamin D deficiency in CF patients, which may contribute to their low BMD.

Ergocalciferol is inactive and hence, the first step in the body is ruled by the conversion of this parent compound to 25-hydroxyvitamin D by the action of CYP2R1 followed by the generation of the major circulating metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or calcitrol. The generation of this major metabolite is ruled by the activity of CYP27B1 which is a key 1-hydroxylase and CYP24A1 which is responsible for the 25-hydroxylation. As part of the minor metabolism, ergocalciferol is transformed into 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver by the activity of D-25-hydroxylase and CYP2R1. As well, the formation of 24(R),25dihydroxyvitamin D is performed mainly in the kidneys by the action of 25-(OH)D-1-hydroxylase and 25-(OH)D-24-hydroxylase. Additionally, there are reports indicating significant activity of 3-epimerase in the metabolism of ergocalciferol which modifies the hydroxy group in C3 from the alpha position to a beta. The epimers formed seemed to have a reduced affinity for the vitamin D plasma proteins and to the vitamin D receptor. An alternative activation metabolic pathway has been reported and this process is characterized by the activity of CYP11A1 and its hydroxylation in the C-20. This 20-hydroxylated vitamin D seems to have similar biological activity than calcitriol.
Vitamin D ... is hydroxylated at the 25 position in liver to produce 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 which is the major metabolite circulating in the plasma. The metabolite is further hydroxylated in the kidney to 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, the most active metabolite in initiating intestinal transport of calcium & phosphate & mobilization of mineral from bone.

For its activity, ergocalciferol is required to be transformed to its major active circulating hydroxylated metabolite and transported to the target organs in order to bind to its target, the vitamin D receptor. The activation of the vitamin D receptor is part of the vitamin D endocrine system and it is described by the production of a change in the transcription rates of the vitamin D receptor target genes. The target genes in the DNA affected by the presence of ergocalciferol are called vitamin D response elements which are dependent on co-modulators. The vitamin D receptor is a transcription factor and member of the steroid hormone nuclear receptor family. It presents a DNA binding domain (VDRE) that, when activated, recruits coregulatory complexes to regulate the genomic activity. Additionally, ergocalciferol presents nongenomic effects such as the stimulation of intestinal calcium transport via transcaltachia.
The mechanism of action of calcitriol, the activated form of vitamin D, resembles that of the steroid and thyroid hormones. Thus, calcitriol binds to cytosolic receptors within target cells, and the receptor-hormone complex interacts with the DNA of certain genes to either enhance or inhibit their transcription. Structural analysis of the calcitriol receptor indicates that it belongs to the same supergene family as the steroid receptors. Calcitriol also appears to exert a few effects that occur too rapidly to be explained by genomic actions. /Calcitriol/

The mechanisms responsible for mobilization of bone salts have been only partially defined, and the interaction of multiple factors appears to be involved. Paradoxically, the cells responsible for bone resorption (osteoclasts) are not directly acted upon by calcitriol and do not appear to contain calcitriol receptors. Instead, calcitriol causes an increase in the number of osteoclasts available to resorb bone; this may result from an action upon myeloid hematopoietic precursor cells that are induced to differentiate toward functional osteoclasts. The cells responsible for bone formation (osteoblasts) do contain receptors, and calcitriol causes them to elaborate several proteins, including osteocalcin, a vitamin K-dependent protein that contains gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues. The exact role of this protein is not known, but other unidentified substances are also elaborated that appear to stimulate the function of osteoclasts. In addition, calcitriol acts synergistically with gamma-interferon to increase the production of interleukin-1, a lymphokine that promotes bone resorption.
