Calcimimetics - perspective agents in the treatment of hyperparathyroidismArticles
Extracellular calcium ion concentration is the major determinant of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion from parathyroid cells. This mechanism is regulated through a 120 kDa calcium sensing receptor (CaSR). In hyperparathyroidism (HPT), excessive PTH is secreted and calcium sensitivity of the cells is reduced due to decreased expression of CaSR. Modulation of the sensitivity of parathyroid cells to calcium is possible through the use of calci mimetics. Calcimimetics are small organic molecules that activate CaSR and thus inhibit PTH secretion. Two mechanistically distinct classes of calci mimetics have been identified: type I which are full agonists of the CaSR and include polyvalent cations, and type II which are positive allosteric acti vators. Calcimimetics are capable of decreasing PTH secretion in pr successfully performed.
