Biological Activity

Description Alendronate sodium trihydrate (G-704650, MK-217), a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.
In vitro
In vitro Alendronate, acting directly on osteoclasts, inhibits a rate-limiting step in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, essential for osteoclast function. [1] Alendronate inhibits the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway and interferes with protein prenylation, as a result of reduced geranylgeranyl diphosphate levels. Alendronate inhibits the incorporation of [(3)H]mevalonolactone into proteins of 18-25 kDa and into nonsaponifiable lipids, including sterols in osteoclasts. [2] Alendronate causes a dose-dependent inhibition of [(3)H]MVA incorporation into sterols and a concomitant increase in incorporation of radiolabel into IPP and DMAPP. [3]
In Vivo
In vivo Alendronate causes erosions in the rabbit stomach, but not antral ulceration in rats. Alendronate increases the incidence and size of indomethacin-induced antral ulcers. Alendronate also enhances indomethacin-induced gastricdamage in the rat, and delayed gastric ulcer healing. [4] Alendronate (0.04-0.1 mg/kg twice weekly or 0.1 mg/kg weekly) partially blocks the establishment of bone metastases by human PC-3 ML cells and results in tumor formation in the peritoneum and other soft tissues. Alendronate pretreatment of mice (0.1 mg/kg twice weekly or weekly) and dosing along with taxol (10-50 mg/kg/day, twice weekly, or weekly) blocks the growth of PC-3 ML tumors in the bone marrow and soft tissues in a statistically significant manner and improves survival rates significantly by 4-5 weeks.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
