“…In this paper, we report the differential anti-proliferative responses of pigmented and non-pigmented rodent melanoma cells to classical metabolites of Vitamin D (1,25(OH) 2 D 3 and 25(OH)D 3 ) and novel 20(OH)D 3 [ 61 ] and calcipotriol [ 62 ], as well as short-side chain secosteroids, pD [ 63 ], 20(OH)pD, 20(OH)pL [ 64 ] and 21(OH)pD [ 36 ]. It should be noted that 20(OH)D 3 , pD, 20(OH)pD and 21(OH)pD are non- or low- calcemic secosteroids that may represent therapeutic alternatives to 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 , which is highly calcemic [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”
