Zoledronic acid USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zoledronic acid (zoledronate) is a bisphosphonate bone resorption inhibitor, an inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase which results in downstream inhibition of osteoclast activity and reduced bone resorption and turnover. It has been used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget′s disease, hypercalcemia, and along with cancer chemotherapy to treat bone damage caused by cancer that has spread to the bones.
