Abstract:Background: Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease. Osteoclasts are significantly involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. AS-605240 (AS) is a small molecule PI3K-γ inhibitor and is less toxic compared to pan-PI3K inhibitors. AS also exerts multiple biological effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and myocardial remodeling promotion. However, the involvement of AS in the differentiation and functions of osteoclasts and the effect of AS in treating patients with osteoporosis is still unclear.P… Show more
