Pronunciation: /evocalcet*/

evocalcet

Definition

An orally available calcium receptor (CaR) modulator, with potential calcimimetic activity. Upon administration, evocalcet allosterically binds to and inhibits the activity of CaR, thereby suppressing the production of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prevents the PTH-mediated efflux of calcium from bone and normalizes calcium levels.
