Md. Srivastava et al., DIFFERENTIATION OF NEOPLASTIC-CELLS TOWARD NORMAL INDUCED BY VITAMIN-D-3 DERIVATIVES, Research communications in chemical pathology and pharmacology, 83(2), 1994, pp. 115-123
Two new analogs of 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D-3 (calcitriol, DHCC), the
active metabolite of vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol (D-3) are less activ
e on calcium metabolism and less toxic than (DHCC). They had increased
differentiation-inducing activity towards normal on human myeloblasti
c leukemia cell line HL-60 and on histiocytic lymphoma cell line U-937
consisting of monoblastoid cells. 1,2 tetradeconyl phorbol 1, 3 aceta
te (TPA) was used as a positive control in these experiments.
