Minodronic acid hydrate  (Synonyms: YM-529 hydrate)

Minodronic acid (YM-529) hydrate is a third-generation bisphosphonate that directly and indirectly prevents proliferation, induces apoptosis, and inhibits metastasis of various types of cancer cells. Minodronic acid (YM-529) is an antagonist of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors involved in pain^[1][2].
