Abstract
In human fibroblast cultures TPA increased IL-6 and IL-8 production. This was reduced by vitamin D3 metabolites and analogs. The two analogs employed: 1,25 (OH)2-22 (E)-dehydro-24-monohomo vitamin D3 (Compound A) and 1,25 (OH)2 -22 (E)-dehydro-24 dihomo-vitamin D3 (Compound B) may be useful in the therapy of pathologic proliferative disorders including psoriasis, particularly since they are less toxic and have less effect on calcium metabolism than vitamin D3.
