Product Description

Eldecalcitol is a medication used to treat osteoporosis in Japan. It functions as a vitamin D analog. Eldecalcitol is a medication that patients take orally. It binds to binding proteins and vitamin D receptors in an effort to increase the specificity of the binding of calcium for absorption. This higher affinity is 2.7 times greater than that of calcitriol's active vitamin D form. Eldecalcitol has a long elimination half-life of more than eight hours and is easily absorbed by the body, reaching maximum absorption in 3.4 hours.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Eldecalcitol is non-cytotoxic and can decrease LPS (5 μg/mL)-induced cell death (0.5–50 nM; 24 hours) [2]. By activating Eldecalcitol (0.5-50 nM; 24 h), Eldecalcitol (5 nM; 24 h) exhibits anti-pyroptotic ability and induces dose-wise decrease of NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL. LPS-induced pyroptosis is inhibited by Nrf2 and its effector molecule HO-1[2]. Eldecalcitol (0.04–40 nM; 0-48 h) prevents SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells from proliferating and migrating [3]. Cell cycle curve expression at -1β is induced by edecalcitol (0.4 nM; 48 h) [3]. G0/G1 phase, as well as by preventing cells from expressing glutathione peroxidase, or GPx-1 [3].
ln Vivo
By inhibiting GPx-1 (glutathione peroxidase), eldecalcitol (0.5 μg/kg; channel; twice weekly for 4 weeks) has anticancer effects [3]. Eldecalcitol, a more potent vitamin D3 analogue that promotes focal bone (miniature model) and is more efficient than bone Chetriol in inhibiting bone resorption, (10, 30, or 90 ng/kg; lateral; 5 times weekly for 12 weeks).
Cell Assay
Western Blot analysis [2]
Cell Types: Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs)
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.5, 5 and 50 nM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Compared with LPS treatment group, TLR4, NLRP3, caspase-1 p20, ASC and GSDMD-N levels were diminished in a dose-dependent manner. LPS-induced IL-1β and IL-18 release was diminished to normal levels.

Cell proliferation assay [3]
Cell Types: SCC-15 and CAL-27 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.04, 0.4, 4 and 40 nM
Incubation Duration: 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibition of cell viability using 0.4 nM , OSCC cells reached 50% within 24 hrs (hours).

Cell proliferation analysis [3]
Cell Types: OSCC Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0.4 nM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: The proportion of late-stage apoptotic cells increased from 7.1% to 16.1%. Bax and caspase-3 were upregulated, and Bcl-2 was downregulated. Dramatically triggers apoptosis of SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Mouse xenograft tumor model (male athymic nude BALB/c mouse) [3]
Doses: 0.5 μg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); [4]. Twice a week for 4 weeks.
Experimental Results: diminished tumor growth rate, down-regulated the expression levels of PCNA and MMP-2 in tumors, and up-regulated Bax expression. Resulting in diminished proliferation, inhibition of migration, and promotion of apoptosis.

Animal/Disease Models: Ovariectomized (OVX) rat model [4]
Doses: 10, 30 or 90 ng/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); 5 times per week for 12 weeks
Experimental Results: Lumbar spine and femur BMD in a dose-dependent manner way increased. The stimulation of local bone formation begins without prior bone resorption, a process called bone micromodelling.

Additional Infomation
1alpha,25-dihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D3 is a hydroxycalciol that is calcitriol with a 3-hydroxypropoxy group at position 2. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a tetrol, a member of D3 vitamins and a hydroxycalciol. It is functionally related to a calcitriol.
Eldecalcitol (ED-71), a vitamin D analog, is a more potent inhibitor of bone resorption than alfacalcidol in an estrogen-deficient rat model of osteoporosis. Eldecalcitol, effectively and safely increased lumbar and hip bone mineral density (BMD) in osteoporotic patients who also received vitamin D3 supplementation.
Drug Indication
Investigated for use/treatment in osteoporosis.
Mechanism of Action
Eldecalcitol [1a,25-DIHYDROXY-2ß-(3-hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D3] is an analog of 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], bearing a hydroxypropoxy residue at the 2b position. Eldecalcitol is also effective in increasing bone mass and was able to enhance bone strength in rodents. It binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) with less affinity but binds to vitamin D-binding protein with higher affinity than 1,25(OH)2D, showing a long half-life in plasma.
