59 results about "Alfacalcidol" patented technology

Alfacalcidol (or 1-hydroxycholecalciferol) is an analogue of vitamin D used for supplementation in humans and as a poultry feed additive. Alfacalcidol has a weaker impact on calcium metabolism and parathyroid hormone levels than calcitriol, however alfacalcidol has significant effects on the immune system, including regulatory T cells. It is considered to be a more useful form of vitamin D supplementation, mostly due to much longer half-life and lower kidney load. It is the most commonly prescribed vitamin D metabolite for patients with end stage renal disease, given that impaired renal function alters the ability to carry out the second hydroxylation step required for the formation of the physiologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Alfacalcidol is an active vitamin D3 metabolite, and therefore does not require the second hydroxylation step in the kidney.

Eczema treatment with vitamin D and analogs thereof method, composition and cream

An eczema treatment method comprises application of a therapeutically effective composition in the form of an aqueous topical cream to an affected area of an exterior skin region of a patient, the aqueous topical cream comprising water, a water-soluble organic liquid, a surface active agent, and vitamin D3 compound or another claimed analog thereof, the vitamin D3 compound or the analog constituting at least approximately 10 international units per gram (IU/gram), and, most preferably at least approximately 400 IU/gram. An eczema treatment composition comprises a therapeutically effective formulation comprising at least approximately 50%-90% water, between approximately 1-5% PEG-40 stearate, between approximately 1-5% steareth-2, and cholecalciferal at a concentration of at least approximately 50 international units per gram (IU/g) of composition, and, most preferably at least approximately 400 IU/g. A topical vitamin D cream for therapeutic treatment of eczema includes vitamin D or an analog thereof chosen from the group consisting of cholecalciferol, alfacalcidol, calcifedol, and ergocalciferol; water; a water-soluble organic liquid; and a surface active agent, the vitamin D or analog being in a concentration of at least approximately 50 international units per gram (IU/g) of cream. Remarkably, relief from eczema conditions occurs immediately or in less than 3 days.
