Ibandronate sodium

Ibandronate is a highly potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate used for the treatment of osteoporosis.Target: OthersIbandronate (1.25-2 μM) significantly reduces endothelial cell growth, while ibandronate (2 μM) also significantly reduces capillary-like tube formation and increases apoptosis of endothelial cells. Ibandronate (< 100 μM) dose-dependently increases VEGF expression in endothelial cells [1]. Ibandronate (< 100 μM) inhibits growth of both prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP a
Ibandronate Sodium is the sodium salt form of ibandronic acid, a synthetic nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate. Ibandronic acid inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, resulting in a reduction in geranylgeranyl GTPase signaling proteins and apoptosis of osteoclasts. This agent increases bone mineral density, decreases bone remodeling, inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and reduces metastases-related and corticosteroid-related bone pain.|Aminobisphosphonate that is a potent inhibitor of BONE RESORPTION. It is used in the treatment of HYPERCALCEMIA associated with malignancy, for the prevention of fracture and bone complications in patients with breast cancer and bone metastases, and for the treatment and prevention of POSTMENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS.
