APPLICATIONS

Alendronate sodium is a bisphosphonate which binds to the hydroxyapatite in bone and act as a inhibitor of the resorption of bone for the treatment of osteitis deformans, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and hypercalcemia related to malignancy. It is a white crystalline powder; soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in chloroform, acetone and acetic acid. It is a farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor and tyrosine (protein) phosphatase inhibitor. Chemically, it is described as (4-amino-1-hydroxybutylidene) bisphosphonic acid monosodium salt trihydrate. It is administered orally.

Biphosphonate, a salt, ester, or anion of a dimer of phosphonic acid (diphosphonic acid), inhibits bone resorption as a sodium salt and complexed with technetium Tc 99m for bone imaging. The monophosphonates are not active. Biphosphonates are used in disorders affecting the skeleton such as osteoporosis, metastatic disease, and Paget's disease. While bisphosphonates are analogues of endogenous pyrophosphate structurally, they are characterized by a P-C-P bond, the linking oxygen is replaced with a carbon, which is resistant to enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis. General structure is

Bisphosphonate

Side chains are responsible for chemical-physicla properties, mechanism of resorption, and pharmacokinetics. It is known that biphosphonates bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals at the sites of increased bone turnover preferentially and inhibit the formation, aggregation, and dissolution of the crystals.They also may inhibit osteoclast function directly, promotion of osteoclast apoptosis, and interference with osteoblast-mediated osteoclast activation.
