Seocalcitol (EB1089), a synthetic vitamin D analog, exhibits reduced hypercalcemic activity relative to 1,25(OH)₂VD₃. In another study, long-term intraperitoneal (IP) administration of Seocalcitol at a dose of 0.5 μg/kg body weight every other day in C3H/Sy mice exertes a very strong inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development^[4]. Seocalcitol (EB 1089) is administered daily to postnatal rats from 4 to 12 days of age (P4 to P12) by intraperitoneal injection at either 0.38 or 1.25 μg/kg body weight (BW)/day. Only the highest dose of Seocalcitol (1.25 μg/kg BW) causes a significant reduction in weight gain when administered alone or in conjunction with Dexamethasone, all-trans retinoic acid (RA), or retinoic acid^[5].
