| Targets |
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Triciferol acts as a dual ligand: it agonizes VDR and antagonizes HDAC activity. The VDR agonism promotes calcium homeostasis and cell differentiation, while HDAC inhibition enhances gene expression and has anticancer effects.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Triciferol (0–1000 nM; 0-72 hours) is a far more effective agent in inhibiting the growth of human MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells that do not express estrogen receptors[1]. Equimolar doses of 1,25D elicit ≼2.5-fold lower rates of cell death in MCF-7 cells treated with triciferol (100-1000 nM)[1].
Triciferol binds directly to VDR with an IC₅0 of 87 nM and acts as an agonist with 1,25D-like potency on several 1,25D target genes. It induces significant tubulin hyperacetylation. It has antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities. |
| ln Vivo |
No detailed in vivo activity data has been reported for triciferol in available literature. It has been investigated for applications in osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease-related mineral disorders, and dermatological conditions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
VDR binding assays: Triciferol is incubated with purified VDR protein and its radiolabeled ligand (e.g., 3H-1,25D). Binding affinity is measured by scintillation counting or fluorescence polarization. IC₅0 values are calculated from competition curves. HDAC activity assays are performed using fluorogenic substrates.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells Tested Concentrations: 0-10000 nM Incubation Duration: 0-72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Growth inhibition was statistically Dramatically different from that of 1,25D at concentrations of 1 nM or above. Cell-based assays: Cells are treated with triciferol, and VDR target gene expression is measured by qPCR or reporter gene assays. HDAC inhibition is assessed by measuring histone acetylation levels by Western blot. Antiproliferative activity is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal models of osteoporosis or chronic kidney disease could be used to evaluate triciferol in vivo. The compound is designed to maintain therapeutic benefits of vitamin D while minimizing hypercalcemia risk.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Triciferol has a molecular weight of 429.59 and a molecular formula of C2₆H3₉NO4. It is a synthetic vitamin D analog designed to have combined VDR agonist and HDAC antagonist activities. Detailed PK parameters have not been reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicity data has been published for triciferol. Its modified structure aims to maintain therapeutic benefits of vitamin D while minimizing risks of hypercalcemia during prolonged treatment. As a research compound, it is not intended for human therapeutic use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
