abstract：:A new 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 analog, 22-oxa-1,25(OH)2D3, which may have pharmaceutical use, e.g., in the treatment of psoriasis, was studied using cultured MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells. We found that the new compound binds to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D receptors and regulates receptor mRNA levels like the natural lig...
