Pharmacological topics of bone metabolism: antiresorptive microbial compounds that inhibit osteoclast differentiation, function, and survival.

چکیده
The mass and function of bones depends on the maintenance of a complicated balance between osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Osteoporosis typically reflects an imbalance in skeletal turnover, such that bone resorption exceeds bone formation. Osteoclasts are target cells for anti-osteoporosis therapies. To discover new types of antiresorptive agents, we screened for natural compounds that regulate osteoclast differentiation, function, and survival. As a result, we identified reveromycin A, destruxins, mevastatin, FK506, cyclosporin A, prodigiosins, concanamycins, and symbioimine among microbial natural compounds. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of action of these compounds on osteoclasts.

متن کاملAntiresorptive Activity of Bacillus-Fermented Antler Extracts: Inhibition of Osteoclast Differentiation
Antlers have been traditionally used for thousands of years as a natural product with medicinal and pharmaceutical properties. In developing healthy foods, Bacillus-mediated fermentation is widely used to enhance the biological activity of nutrients in foods. Recently, fermentation was shown to enhance the osteogenic activity of antlers. This study aimed to elucidate the antiresorptive activity...
متن کاملMechanisms of action of antiresorptive therapies of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
In the treatment of osteoporosis, the aim of the antiresorptive therapy is to restore bone density by decreasing bone remodeling. The process of bone remodeling plays a role in plasma calcium homeostasis and serves to modify bone architecture in order to meet changing mechanical needs, to maintain osteocyte viability, and to repair microdamage in bone matrix. Estrogen deficiency results in a nu...
متن کاملInhibition of bone resorption by Tanshinone VI isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge
During the last decade, a more detailed knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in osteoclastogenesis has driven research efforts in the development and screening of compound libraries of several small molecules that specifically inhibit the pathway involved in the commitment of the osteoclast precursor cells. Natural compounds that suppress osteoclast differentiation may have therapeutic va...

Introduction Recently it has been shown that flavonoids of polyphenolic compounds such as genistein and daidzein isolated from soyfood exert a therapeutic effect on osteoporosis and that they inhibit osteoclast differentiation [1,2]. Moreover, some flavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol, and condensed tannins such as (-)-epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) derived from vegetables, wine, and green...
