Hydroxyvitamin D3 (la-OH-D3) is a synthetic sterol with biological characteristics similar to those of la, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (la, 25-(OH) 2-D3), the apparent hormonal form of vitamin D. The synthetic sterol is virtually equipotent to the natural hormone, in vivo, and has been utilized recently to treat patients with defects in vitamin D metabolism. However, no information is presently available on its biochemi-cal mode of action. In order to determine ifla-OH-D3 functions by binding directly to target tissue receptors for la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 or is first metabolized to la, 25-(OH) 2-D3, we have carried out a detailed examination of the comparative biologic effects as well as the receptor binding properties of the two sterols. After a single oral dose of 162.5 pmol (2.5 IU) of either la-OH-D3 or la, 25-(OH) 2-D3, rachitic chicks display equivalent increases in calcium absorption from the intestine; following a 2-3-hr latentperiod, both sterols elicit maximal effects at 9 hr and the responses undergo parallel decay between 24 and 72 hr. Comparison of the relative amounts of la-OH-D3 and la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 required to stimulate calcium absorption at 9 hr indicates that the sterols are equipotent in the dose range of 19.5-650pmol (0.3-10 IU). In chronic administration studies, the synthetic sterol was slightly more antirachitic than
