Lexacalcitol (KH1060), a vitamin D analog, is a potent regulator of cell growth and immune responses. Lexacalcitol can be used for the research of graft rejection, psoriasis, cancer and auto-immune diseases[1][2].
Lexacalcitol inhibits cell proliferation by 50% at 10-12 M (14,000 times more active than la,25(OH)2D3) in human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U 937[1].
Lexacalcitol inhibits interleukin-1-induced mouse thymocyte proliferation by 50% at 3×10-16 M , allogeneic stimulation of mouse spleen lymphocytes at 5×10-15 M[1].
Lexacalcitol (0.5 mg/kg/2 days; i.p.) in combination with cyclosporin A (CyA) can prevent autoimmune destruction of syngeneic islet grafts in spontaneously diabetic NOD recipients[2].
