Description of Calcipotriol

Calcipotriol is a synthetic vitamin D3 analog with high affinity for vitamin D receptors[1]. Calcipotriol is mainly used to treat psoriasis. It is also effective in certain keratotic diseases (ichthyosis) as well as localized scleroderma and vitiligo, and has important immunomodulatory functions [2].

In vitro, calcipotriol (10nM) treated HL-60 cells for 24h caused cell apoptosis, but caused cell differentiation at a higher dose (100nM)[3]. Calcipotriol (0.001-10μM) treated SCC13 cells for 4 days, dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation and stimulated cell differentiation, but did not induce SCC13 cell apoptosis, and specifically inhibited the autocrine activation of the EGFR signaling pathway [4].

In vivo, calcipotriol combined with BDP ointment (40 mg, once daily, administered topically on the skin) treated rats with psoriasis-like dermatitis. Compared with the vaseline treatment group, it significantly inhibited ear skin thickening and Transepidermal water loss[5]. Calcipotriol (0.1mg/kg) can reduce knee joint swelling and relieve synovitis through a single intra-articular injection in ZIA rats [6].

Protocol of Calcipotriol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HL-60 cells

Preparation Method

HL-60 cells were pre-exposed to calcipotriol (0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM) for 24h, and then incubated with CIS for the next 48h.

Reaction Conditions

0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM; 24 h

Applications

Calcipotriol caused the apoptosis of HL-60 cells at the dose of 10nM, but in a higher dose (100nM) caused cell differentiation.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male Hairless HWY rats

Preparation Method

HWY rats received a daily topical dose of 10mg/ear or 25mg/back skin of 5% IMQ cream for 4 consecutive days in order to induce psoriasis-like skin dermatitis. Ears were treated with Vaseline, BDP, or Calcipotriol/BDP at doses of 10mg/ear and 40 mg/ear 1 hour after each application of IMQ.

Dosage form

10mg, 40 mg; apply topically to skin

Applications

Compared with the vaseline treatment group, 40 mg/ear calcipotriol/BDP ointment significantly inhibited ear thickening and transepidermal water loss.
