Summary The application of disodium dichloromethylene diphosphonate (Cl2MDP), a diphosphonate which is known to inhibit bone formation and bone destruction leads to changes in the metabolism of 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol. The concentration of the tissue active form of vitamin D, i.e. 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, was found to be markedly diminished in blood serum, kidney and intestine. It is discussed whether this finding is due to a direct effect of Cl2MDP on 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol-1-hydroxylase in the kidney or indirectly caused by a disturbance of the regulation of 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol production.
