Recombinant human PTH 1-34 (Forteo): an anabolic drug for osteoporosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forteo (teriparatide of rDNA origin), a genetically engineered fragment of parathyroid hormone, is the first of a new class of drugs to treat osteoporosis. The drug's anabolic action increases bone turnover, stimulating osteoblasts to a greater extent than osteoclasts, and reducing both vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. However, a number of issues about its use remain unanswered.

متن کاملAnabolic Therapies
The striking clinical benefits of intermittent parathyroid hormone in osteoporosis have begun a new era of skeletal anabolic agents. Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH) (1-34) is the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved anabolic therapy. Its use has been limited by the need for subcutaneous injection. Newer delivery systems include transdermal and oral preparations. Newer an...
متن کاملThe use of PTH in the treatment of osteoporosis.
Anabolic drugs have recently widened therapeutic options in osteoporosis treatment, as they influence processes associated with bone formation to a greater extent and earlier than bone reabsortion. They positively affect a number of skeletal properties besides bone density, as intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) results in an increase in the number and activity of osteoblas...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for High Level Expression of Soluble Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone (rhPTH 1-34) in Escherichia coli
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted by parathyroid glands regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in bone and kidney. Thereby, it can stimulate bone formation, and is a promising agent in the treatment of osteoporosis. Mature form of PTH consists of 84 amino acids; however, the first 34 residues of PTH cover the majority of hormonal action. METHODS In this study, the fusi...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo evaluation of osteoporosis therapeutic peptide PTH 1-34 loaded pegylated chitosan nanoparticles.
Oral formulation of human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH 1-34) is an alternative patient compliant route in treating osteoporosis. PTH 1-34 loaded chitosan nanoparticles were PEGylated (PEG-CS-PTH NPs) and characterized by DLS, SEM, TEM and FTIR. PEG-CS-PTH NP aggregates of 200-250 nm which in turn comprised 20 nm individual nanoparticles were observed in SEM and TEM images respectively. The PEG...
