Synonym: D-Biotin, Bios II, Coenzyme R, Vitamin B7, Vitamin H

Biotin is readily available in several foods, like whole grains, nuts, legumes, unpolished rice and egg yolk. The normal gut flora also produces this vitamin.
Biotin is also called as B complex vitamin. It is a bicyclic compound, which has a molecular weight of 244.31 Da. Biotin serves as an important cofactor for mammalian carboxylases. It is found within the cells in free and bound pools.

Biotin has been used for testing the functionality of the Avidin-displaying phages. The product has also been used for labeling the swine anti-rabbit IgG antibody and peroxidase.

Biotin acts as an important cofactor for carboxylase enzymes in various metabolic pathways. Biotin favors keratin synthesis and hence is used as a supplement for hair and nail growth. Deficiency of biotin shows several symptoms such as alopecia, conjunctivitis, seborrheic dermatitis, depression, lethargy, hypotonia and seizures.

Biotin also referred to as vitamin H or vitamin B7 is a water-soluble B-vitamin that induces two to three fold increase in guanylate cyclase activity in rat liver, kidney, colon, cerebellum, and heart. It also stimulates the sperm motility and prolongs the survival of cryopreserved human spermatozoa.

Cholecalciferol acts as a hormone precursor since it requires two stages of metabolism: first to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol; then to 1α, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. One unit (U.S.P. or international) is defined as the activity of 0.025 μg of vitamin D3 contained in the USP vitamin D reference standard.

Cholecalciferol is sourced either through the diet or exposing skin to ultraviolet rays. Oral administration of vitamin D₃ is readily absorbed and is stored in adipose tissue.

Deficiency of vitamin D is often observed in chronic kidney disease.

Vitamin D acts through a receptor that is a member of the ligand-dependent transcription factor superfamily. Modulates the proliferation and differentiation of both normal and cancer cells. Has antiproliferative and antimetastatic effects on breast, colon, and prostate cancer cells. Activated vitamin D receptors in intestine and bone maintain calcium absorbance and homeostasis.

These analogs are precursors in the biosynthesis of the phosphopantetheine moiety of coenzyme A.^[1] D-Panthenol and D-Pantothenic acid are used in a variety of skin protection products. D-pantothenic acid may have a role in controlling keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. D-Panthenol may be used for studies of skin protection emulsions from UV irradiation and as a humectant. D-pantothenic acid is crucial for normal epithelial function. It facilitates wound healing process.

Due to the unstable, hygroscopic nature of the free acid, the calcium salt is employed.

• as a supplement in the bacterial basal media

Riboflavin serves as a precursor for the active enzyme cofactors riboflavin 5′-monophosphate (also called flavin mononucleotide or FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Riboflavin deficiency in the diet results in a well-defined syndrome known as ariboflavinosis, Riboflavin exhibits protective effects against tumor development and cardiovascular disease. Its deficiency often affects metabolism involving redox reactions. Riboflavin is found essential for iron absorption, gastrointestinal development, neurogenesis, corneal vascularization and corneal opacity.
Riboflavin is a key component of the redox cofactors flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) that are used by a wide variety of flavoprotein oxidoreductases, dehydrogenase(s), decarboxylase(s) and electron transporters. Riboflavin is involved in various cellular processes, including β oxidation in lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, protection from cellular oxidative injury, DNA and RNA metabolism, gluconeogenesis, erythropoiesis and generation of corticosteroids. Riboflavin deficiency causes ariboflavinosis with symptoms such as sore throat, hyperemia, edema of oral and mucous membranes, cheilosis and glossitis.
