Hodoodo CAT#: H200133
CAS#: 121268-17-5 (sodium hydrate)
Description: Alendronate sodium is the sodium salt of alendronate, a second generation bisphosphonate and synthetic analog of pyrophosphate with bone anti-resorption activity. Alendronate sodium binds to and inhibits the activity of geranyltranstransferase (farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase), an enzyme involved in terpenoid biosynthesis. Inhibition of this enzyme prevents the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids (FPP and GGPP) that are donor substrates of farnesylation and geranylgeranylation during the post-translational modification of small GTPase signalling proteins, which is important in the process of osteoclast turnover.

More Info:
Biological target: | Alendronate (sodium hydrate) is a farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor with IC50 of 460 nM. |
In vitro activity: | Cultures treated with the highest alendronate concentration (100 μM Ald) showed significantly lower percentages of live cells than the other groups (control, 0.1, 1 and 10 μM Ald) after 24 h (p |
In vivo activity: | The results in Fig. 5A revealed that bone structure was significantly improved in rats treated with alendronate that exhibited ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis compared with the PBS group. It was also observed that alendronate treatment prevented loss of trabeculae in rats with osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy (Fig. 5B). In addition, bone strength and bone density assays demonstrated that alendronate significantly improved osteoporosis in rats induced by ovariectomy, when compared with the PBS control group (Fig. 5C and D). Furthermore, the elastic modulus and post-yield displacement of bone were also increased in rats with osteoporosis following treatment with alendronate (Fig. 5E and F). Therefore, these data suggest that alendronate treatment was beneficial in rats with osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy, as determined by histological and index detection.
