Biochem/physiol Actions

Risedronate sodium is a bisphosphonate bone resorption inhibitor. It has an affinity for hydroxyapatite crystals in bone and acts as an antiresorptive agent and is an inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase, which results in downstream inhibition of osteoclast activity and reduced bone resorption and turnover. Risedronate sodium has been used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis and Paget′s disease.

Minodronate is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate that is commercially available for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan. Preclinical studies demonstrated that minodronate is at least 10 times more potent than alendronate in inhibiting bone resorption in vivo. A high incidence of

Alterations in resorption cavities and bone remodeling events during anti-resorptive treatment are believed to contribute to reductions in fracture risk. Here, we examine changes in the size of individual remodeling events associated with treatment with a selective estrogen receptor modulator

This randomized, double-blind study assessed the antifracture efficacy and safety of intermittent intravenous (IV) ibandronate versus oral daily risedronate in Japanese patients with primary osteoporosis. Ambulatory patients aged ≥60 years were randomized to receive 0.5 or 1 mg/month IV ibandronate

To investigate whether treatment with a bisphosphonate would influence the subchondral bone plate stiffness and the development of cartilage damage in Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs, which develop osteoarthritis (OA) spontaneously. Fifty-six 3-month-old male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were randomized into
