Application

Alendronate sodium trihydrate has been used:
  • for calcium phosphate nanoparticles (nCaP)/ bisphosphonate (BP) coating on titanium implants and analyze its osteogenic capacity
  • in osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) isolated from aged osteoporosis patients- and healthy-person
  • to treat osteoblast progenitor cells and osteoblasts and study their effect on osteoblast behaviors using conventional assays and simple digital image analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alendronate is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate that is known to hinder the mevalonate pathway and limit osteoclastic function and activity. Alendronate sodium trihydrate is a bone resorption inhibitor, farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor, and CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor.
Alendronate sodium trihydrate is a bone resorption inhibitor; farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor (IC50 = 460 nM); CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor.

Storage and Stability

Following reconstitution, it is recommended to aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.
