In a recent study, we investigated the metabolism of 1α, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-vitamin D3 (1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3), a potent synthetic vitamin D3 analog in the isolated perfused rat kidney and proposed that the enhanced biological activity of 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 is in part due to its metabolism into stable bioactive intermediary metabolites derived via the C-24 oxidation pathway (Siu-Caldera et al.[1999] J. Steroid. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 71: 111±121). It is now well established that 1α, 25 (OH) 2D3 and its analogs are metabolized in target tissues not only via the C-24 oxidation pathway but also via the C-3 epimerization pathway. As the perfused rat kidney does not express the C-3 epimerization pathway, we could not identify other possible bioactive metabolites of 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 such as 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3, derived via the C-3 epimerization pathway. Therefore, we studied the metabolism of 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 in rat osteosarcoma cells (UMR 106) which express both the C-24 oxidation and the C-3 epimerization pathways. Our results indicate that 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 is metabolized in UMR 106 cells into several metabolites which included not only the previously known metabolites of the C-24 oxidation pathway but also three new metabolites which were labeled as metabolites X, Y1, and Y2. Metabolite X was unequivocally identi® ed as 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3. Eventhough de® nite structure identi® cation of the metabolites, Y1 and Y2 was not achieved in our present study, we determined that the metabolite Y1 is produced from 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 and the metabolite Y2 is produced from 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3. We also noted the production of both 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3 and the two metabolites Y1 and Y2 in different rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) which express only the C-3 epimerization pathway but not the C-24 oxidation pathway. Furthermore, we investigated the metabolism of 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 in the isolated perfused rat kidney in an earlier study. The results of this study indicated that the rat kidney unlike rat osteosarcoma cells did not produce either 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3 or the metabolites Y1 and Y2. Thus, it appears that the metabolites Y1 and Y2, like 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3, are produced only in speci® c tissues. Preliminary biological activity of each new metabolite is assessed by measuring its ability to generate VDR-mediated gene transcription. 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-3-epi-D3 was found to be almost equipotent to 1α, 25 (OH) 2-20-epi-D3 while the metabolites, Y1 and Y2 were found to be less active. The metabolite Y1 when compared to the metabolite Y2
