Product Description

Eldecalcitol is a medication used to treat osteoporosis in Japan. It functions as a vitamin D analog. Eldecalcitol is a medication that patients take orally. It binds to binding proteins and vitamin D receptors in an effort to increase the specificity of the binding of calcium for absorption. This higher affinity is 2.7 times greater than that of calcitriol's active vitamin D form. Eldecalcitol has a long elimination half-life of more than eight hours and is easily absorbed by the body, reaching maximum absorption in 3.4 hours.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Eldecalcitol is non-cytotoxic and can decrease LPS (5 μg/mL)-induced cell death (0.5–50 nM; 24 hours) [2]. By activating Eldecalcitol (0.5-50 nM; 24 h), Eldecalcitol (5 nM; 24 h) exhibits anti-pyroptotic ability and induces dose-wise decrease of NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL. LPS-induced pyroptosis is inhibited by Nrf2 and its effector molecule HO-1[2]. Eldecalcitol (0.04–40 nM; 0-48 h) prevents SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells from proliferating and migrating [3]. Cell cycle curve expression at -1β is induced by edecalcitol (0.4 nM; 48 h) [3]. G0/G1 phase, as well as by preventing cells from expressing glutathione peroxidase, or GPx-1 [3].
ln Vivo
By inhibiting GPx-1 (glutathione peroxidase), eldecalcitol (0.5 μg/kg; channel; twice weekly for 4 weeks) has anticancer effects [3]. Eldecalcitol, a more potent vitamin D3 analogue that promotes focal bone (miniature model) and is more efficient than bone Chetriol in inhibiting bone resorption, (10, 30, or 90 ng/kg; lateral; 5 times weekly for 12 weeks).
Cell Assay
Western Blot analysis [2]
Cell Types: Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs)
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.5, 5 and 50 nM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Compared with LPS treatment group, TLR4, NLRP3, caspase-1 p20, ASC and GSDMD-N levels were diminished in a dose-dependent manner. LPS-induced IL-1β and IL-18 release was diminished to normal levels.

Cell proliferation assay [3]
Cell Types: SCC-15 and CAL-27 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.04, 0.4, 4 and 40 nM
Incubation Duration: 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibition of cell viability using 0.4 nM , OSCC cells reached 50% within 24 hrs (hours).

Cell proliferation analysis [3]
Cell Types: OSCC Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0.4 nM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: The proportion of late-stage apoptotic cells increased from 7.1% to 16.1%. Bax and caspase-3 were upregulated, and Bcl-2 was downregulated. Dramatically triggers apoptosis of SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Mouse xenograft tumor model (male athymic nude BALB/c mouse) [3]
Doses: 0.5 μg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); [4]. Twice a week for 4 weeks.
Experimental Results: diminished tumor growth rate, down-regulated the expression levels of PCNA and MMP-2 in tumors, and up-regulated Bax expression. Resulting in diminished proliferation, inhibition of migration, and promotion of apoptosis.

Animal/Disease Models: Ovariectomized (OVX) rat model [4]
Doses: 10, 30 or 90 ng/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); 5 times per week for 12 weeks
Experimental Results: Lumbar spine and femur BMD in a dose-dependent manner way increased. The stimulation of local bone formation begins without prior bone resorption, a process called bone micromodelling.

*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.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
