Description

Alendronic acid, a bisphosphonate, is a farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) inhibitor. Alendronic acid inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Alendronic acid shows efficacy in postmenopausal osteoporosis, malignant hypercalcemia and Paget’s disease[1].

In Vitro

Bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis, and among the bisphosphonates, alendronic acid is the most frequently prescribed drug. Bisphosphonates have powerful inhibitory effects on bone remodeling, a process that is critically important for fracture healing[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
