The existing drugs for treatment of osteoporosis are limited in scope, tolerability, and efficacy. Newer osteoclast-targeted agents like inhibitors of receptor activator nuclear factor kappaB pathway, Cathepsin K, and integrins are under clinical development. Osteoblast-targeted therapies include the agents acting through the Wnt signaling pathway like sclerostin antagonists. The potential molecular targets and the emerging drugs for treatment of osteoporosis are discussed in this review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
