Upacicalcet (sodium) is an intravenous calcimimetic agent that acts directly on parathyroid cell membrane calcium-sensing receptors to suppress excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, thereby lowering blood PTH levels. It is indicated for the research of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).
(Rac)-Upacicalcet is a racemate of Upacicalcet, which serves as an intravenous calcimimetic agent. Upacicalcet acts by directly targeting calcium-sensing receptors on parathyroid cell membranes, effectively suppressing the release of excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) and reducing blood PTH levels. This compound holds the potential for researching secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) [1].
