• Description: Calcipotriol is a synthetic vitamin D3 analog that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of bone cancer. It has a film-forming property and is used in pharmaceutical preparations as well as for wastewater treatment. Calcipotriol monohydrate is made by reacting calcipotriol with hydrochloric acid, which produces an ester bond between the hydroxyl group and the carboxylic acid group. The reaction also produces water, methanol, and methyl ethyl ether. Studies have shown that calcipotriol monohydrate has a chemical stability of over 30 days at room temperature, indicating it can be stored for long periods without degradation.
