Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel bisphosphonates with dual activities on bone in vitro

In an effort to generate novel anti-osteoporosis agents, new bisphosphonates with various benzoyl groups on side chains have been synthesized and evaluated for activities on both bone resorption and bone formation in vitro. Several candidates showed distinct dual activities: promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption.

A novel series of bisphosphonates with activities both on bone resorption and formation have been synthesized.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
