Chemical structure definitions are available for many Cayman products. See Chemical Structure Database for details.

Calcipotriol (hydrate) is a low-calcemic vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist. Calcipotriol (hydrate) is about 200 times less potent in its effects on calcium metabolism than vitamin D (1,25[OH]D3).1 Binding of calcipotriol (hydrate) to the VDR increases AP-1, a transcription factor important for keratinocyte differentiation, and reduces expression of JunB protein, a transcriptional activator in the inflammatory response.2 Calcipotriol (hydrate) also induces expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin, which triggers T-cell differentiation in keratinocytes.3
