Effect of Alendronate on Osteoclast Differentiation and Bone Volume in Transplanted Bone

Abstract: Alendronate, one of the bisphosphonates, is known to have an inhibitory effect on bone resorption. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alendronate on ectopic bone graft resorption and to determine the optimal dose in the mouse. The grafted bone in the control group disappeared due to resorption by osteoclasts within 5 weeks. In the experimental groups, the area of bone tissue decreased by only 20-40% at 5 weeks post-operatively. At 8 and 9 weeks after surgery, the decreased area of bone… Show more

“…Bisphosphonates inhibit the degradation of bone by increasing the rate of osteoclast apoptosis or inhibiting osteoclast differentiation ( 64 ) and are the most used drug for the treatment of osteoporosis in the UK. We simulated the effect of administering bisphosphonates at increasing doses by increasing the rate of osteoclast apoptosis ( k deathOcl ) from 6.5e−5 to 1.3e−4 (Figure 11 E).…”

“…Os estudos sobre o uso tópico de drogas surgiram com o objetivo de estabelecer uma dose ótima de uma substância bioativa precisamente no local onde é desejada, em vez de se distribuir excessivamente e de forma desnecessária por todo o corpo, através da circulação sistêmica (MÖLLER et al, 2014). Acredita-se que a aplicação local do ALN evita a maioria dos efeitos colaterais relacionados à administração sistêmica, proporcionando uma maior concentração local (KAWATA et al, 2004;SHARMA;PRADEEP, 2012a, b).…”

“…The optimal dose of AL, as well as its effect on ectopic bone graft resorption as determined by conventional radiographic analysis, was tested by Kawata et al [24]. The grafted bone disappeared in the control group (grated bone immersed in saline solution) after 5 weeks post-surgery.…”
