Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcipotriol is a synthetic derivative of calcitriol, or Vitamin D.
Calcipotriol, a synthetic derivative of calcitriol or Vitamin D, is used in the treatment of psoriasis and marketed under the trade name Dovonex. It has comparable affinity with calcitriol (Vit. D) for the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), while being less than 1% as active as the calcitriol in regulating calcium metabolism. VDR belongs to the steroid/thyroid receptor superfamily, and is found on the cells of many different tissues including the thyroid, bone, kindney, and T cells of the immune system. Binding of calcipotriol to the VDR modulates the T cells gene transcription of cell differentiation and proliferation-related genes.

The antimicrobial peptides (AMP) psoriasin (S100A7) and koebnerisin (S100A15) are differently induced in psoriatic skin. They act synergistically as chemoattractants and "alarmins" to amplify inflammation in psoriasis. Th17 cytokines are key players in psoriasis pathogenesis and vitamin D analogs feature
