New use of 1 - alpha - hydroxylated - 19 - nor - vitamin - d - compounds for the treatment of psoriasis

摘要

A novel use for 1α-hydroxylated-19-nor-vitamin D compounds to treat psoriasis inasmuch as these compounds when administered to humans are converted to a metabolite, such as a 1α,25-dihydroxylated compound, which metabolite invitro will cause differentiation in a human cell line.
