RECENT ADVANCES Bisphosphonate treatment of bone disease
MECHANISM OF ACTION AND RELATIVE POTENCY Bisphosphonates are chemical analogues of pyrophosphate. The presence of a carbon rather than oxygen atom at the centre of the molecule prevents its breakdown. The two phosphonate groups are attached directly to the carbon atom from which also extend the R1 and R2 side chains (fig 1). The R1 side chain is usually a hydroxyl group and is often referred to...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives on bisphosphonate treatment in Paget’s disease of bone
Paget's disease of bone is a chronic metabolic bone disease with focal increase in bone turnover. The exact etiology of the disease is uncertain, although genetic and environmental factors are believed to be important. Bisphosphonate is the main class of medication being used to control disease activity via its antiresorptive effect. This review discusses the controversies concerning the use of...
متن کاملComputer-assisted quantitative evaluation of bisphosphonate treatment for Paget's disease of bone using the bone scan index
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effect of treatment of Paget's disease of bone (PDB) with bone scintigraphy using a computer-assisted diagnosis system (BONENAVI) that quantitatively evaluates bone metabolism. Seven patients with PDB (three male, four female; average age, 60 years; age range, 33-80 years) underwent bone scintigraphy and measurement of serum alkaline phosphata...
متن کاملBreast cancer: bisphosphonate therapy for metastatic bone disease.
The indications of bisphosphonate therapy in breast cancer patients go from the correction of hypercalcemia to the prevention of cancer treatment-induced bone loss. Bisphosphonates are part of our therapeutic armamentarium against metastatic bone pain, and at least 50% of the patients benefit from a clinically relevant analgesic effect. Placebo-controlled trials with oral or i.v. bisphosphonate...
متن کاملEffect of Bisphosphonate on Osteoclast of Bone
Bisphosphonates are synthetic analogues of naturally occurring pyrophosphate molecule and are potent inhibitors of osteoclastic bone resorption. Bisphosphonates bind to hydroxyapatite crystals with high affinity and after incorporation by osteoclasts, the primary target cell, it inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption. The anti-resorptive effect has been shown to occur in organ culture as well as...
