| Targets |
Maxacalcitol targets the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear receptor that regulates gene transcription. It is a VDR-like receptor ligand. Activation of VDR leads to modulation of gene expression involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune function. The compound suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH) mRNA expression.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Maxacalcitol inhibits parathyroid hormone (PTH) mRNA expression in vitro. It exhibits similar effects to calcitriol in osteoblast-like cells. The compound inhibits tumor growth of osteosarcoma in vitro when combined with all-trans retinoic acid. These activities confirm VDR-mediated transcriptional regulation.
|
| ln Vivo |
Maxacalcitol inhibits parathyroid hormone (PTH) mRNA expression in vivo. It suppresses secondary hyperparathyroidism without inducing low bone turnover in dogs with renal failure. The compound also inhibits tumor growth of a canine osteosarcoma cell line in vivo and prevents pulmonary metastasis. These activities support its therapeutic potential.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based receptor binding assays for Maxacalcitol typically use purified VDR protein or VDR-containing nuclear extracts. The compound is incubated with radiolabeled calcitriol or other VDR ligands in competitive binding assays. Binding affinity (Ki) is determined by measuring displacement of the radiolabeled ligand. Assays are performed in buffer systems with appropriate salt concentrations and incubation times, followed by separation of bound from free ligand.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Maxacalcitol utilize VDR-expressing cell lines such as osteoblast-like cells, keratinocytes, or cancer cells. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and gene expression changes are measured by quantitative PCR for VDR target genes (e.g., CYP24A1, osteocalcin). PTH mRNA expression is assessed in parathyroid cells. Cell proliferation and differentiation are measured using standard assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal models for Maxacalcitol include renal failure models in dogs to assess suppression of secondary hyperparathyroidism, osteosarcoma xenograft models to evaluate antitumor activity, and models of psoriasis. The compound is administered orally at various doses. Efficacy is assessed through serum PTH levels, bone turnover markers, tumor growth measurements, and histopathological analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of Maxacalcitol include molecular weight of 418.61 g/mol and molecular formula C26H42O4. The compound is soluble in DMSO (100 mg/mL). As an orally active vitamin D analog, it is designed for oral administration. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for 1 year.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Maxacalcitol is a non-calcemic vitamin D3 analog with limited calcemic effect, meaning it has reduced potential to cause hypercalcemia compared to calcitriol. This improved safety profile makes it suitable for chronic use. Standard toxicity assessments would evaluate effects on calcium metabolism, renal function, and bone turnover. The compound is approved for psoriasis.
