Calcipotriol is a synthetic analogue of the active metabolite of vitamin D, stimulates morphological differentiation and suppresses the proliferation of keratinocytes, which underlies its therapeutic effect in psoriasis. Calcipotriol is a potent inhibitor of T-lymphocyte activation caused by interleukin I. The effect of calcipotriol on calcium metabolism is 100 times weaker than that of vitamin D3. Pharmacokinetics Transdermal absorption of calcipotriol is, depending on the dose used, from 1% to 5%. Calcipotriol undergoes rapid biotransformation in the liver with the formation of pharmacologically inactive metabolites. T 1/2 is very short.
