Product Description

Inecalcitol is a novel vitamin D analog that acts as a VDR agonist. It can inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
LNCaP cells treated with ecalcitol (0.1–10 nM) for 48 hours showed a dose-dependent reduction in Pim-1 protein and mRNA expression. Moreover, ecalcitol (0.1–10 nM; 48 hours) dose-dependently lowers ETV1 expression levels. LNCaP and HL-60 cell growth is inhibited by ecalcitol (10–14 days) with ED50 values of 4.0 nM and 0.28 nM, respectively [1].
ln Vivo
For 42 days, ecalcitol (1.3 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; three times weekly) suppresses the growth of human malignancies that respond to androgens in vivo [1]. Pharmacokinetic analyses demonstrate that inecalcitol's axial half-life (using the C57Bl/6J mouse model;

Additional Infomation
Inecalcitol is an analog of calcitriol and a vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) agonist, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, inecalcitol targets and binds to VDR. This activates VDR and VDR-mediated signal transduction pathways. This modulates the VDR-mediated expression of certain genes, including the expression of anti-cancer genes, enhances cellular differentiation, induces tumor cell apoptosis and inhibits tumor cell growth. VDR plays a central role in calcium homeostasis and in the growth of certain cancer cells.
Drug Indication
Investigated for use/treatment in prostate cancer, psoriasis and hyperparathyroidism.
Mechanism of Action
Inecalcitol is an analogue of calcitriol, the naturally active metabolite of vitamin D. Calcitriol and their analogues activate the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Vitamin D has a major role in regulating calcium absorption from the gut, storage in mineral form in the bones, and excretion by the kidney and effectively prevents rickets in infants. Vitamin D and calcitriol can cause hypercalcemia at high or frequently repeated doses; in turn, hypercalcemia can cause kidney toxicity by accumulation of calcium-containing micro-crystals and heart and muscle dysfunction by impairing contractions. [Hybrigenics Website] The mechanism of action is currently unknown, but it is proposed that inecalcitol exerts its superagonistic action through enhancing coactivator binding by the VDR.
