Maxacalcitol is used to treat two main conditions: psoriasis, via a topical ointment that reduces skin cell proliferation, and secondary hyperparathyroidism, through an injection that suppresses parathyroid hormone production. As a vitamin D analog, it works by modulating the body’s vitamin D receptors to reduce inflammation in psoriasis and control calcium and phosphate metabolism in hyperparathyroidism. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Prezios, Oxarol and Prezios (TN). Its PubChem CID is 6398761.
