Triciferol is a multifunctional small molecule that acts as both a vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist and a histone deacetylase (HDAC) antagonist. It binds directly to VDR with an IC₅₀ of 87 nM and exhibits 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25D)-like potency in activating multiple VDR target genes. In addition to its transcriptional effects, Triciferol induces significant tubulin hyperacetylation and enhances histone acetylation, contributing to its antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities. This dual mechanism highlights its potential as a therapeutic agent in cancer and epigenetic modulation.
