?:definition
  • A synthetic noncalcemic, nonphosphatemic vitamin D analogue. Paricalcitol binds to the vitamin D receptor and has been shown to reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. This agent also increases the expression of PTEN (\'Phosphatase and Tensin homolog deleted on chromosome Ten\'), a tumor-suppressor gene, in leukemic cells and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis and tumor cell differentiation into normal phenotypes. Check for \'https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C38693\' active clinical trials using this agent.
