| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Tacalcitol, the second vitamin D analog developed as a topical antipsoriatic, was
introduced for keratosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, pityriasis rubra pilaris and palmoplantar
pustulosis and keratoderma. It shows improvement in appearance of skin lesions for psoriasis
patients without significant side effects. In patients with psoriasis vulgaris, it effectively
inhibits keratinocyte growth. Some in vitro studies have shown that tacalcitol inhibits
interleukin-1-α-induced granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating-factor mRNA expression
of the human dermal microvascular endothelial cells, which may be involved in mediation of
angioproliferation in skin inflammation. | [Originator]
