Description

Alendronate sodium hydrate is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate that strongly inhibits bone resorption, it is often used in research on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis [1]. Alendronate sodium hydrate has a strong affinity for circulating calcium and minerals on the bone surface, and inhibits the enzyme activity in osteoclasts, thereby hindering the dissolution of bone tissue and the degradation of collagen [2].

Alendronate sodium hydrate (10-4mol/L) incubated for 48 hours significantly reduced the collagen synthesis of osteoblasts. Alendronate sodium hydrate at a concentration of 10-12-10-5mol/L has no effect on calcium deposition in normal human osteoblasts [3].

Alendronate sodium hydrate (25mg/kg) treatment twice each week for 8 weeks, exhibited a reversal of mouse liver fibrosis to a significant extent, and the expression of α-SMA positive cells in the hepatic fibrosis area was significantly reduced in CCl4 induced liver fibrosis mouse model [4]. Alendronate sodium hydrate (0.01 to 0.25mg/kg, s.c., 11 days) preserves alveolar bone resorption and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities in experimental periodontitis [5]. Alendronate sodium hydrate pretreated mice (0.1mg/kg twice a week or once a week) combined with paclitaxel administration (10-50mg/kg/day twice a week or once a week) statistically significantly blocked the growth of PC3 ML tumors in bone marrow and soft tissue. And significantly improve survival time [6].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human bone cells

Preparation Method

A stock solution of Alendronate sodium hydrate was prepared by dissolving at a concentration of 10mol/L in DMEM. Culture media were prepared at final concentrations of alendronate between 10-12 to 10-1mol/L, with 1:10 serial dilutions of the stock solutions. Medium with or without Alendronate sodium hydrate was then added and the cells incubated for 48 or 96h.

Reaction Conditions

10-12 to 10-1mol/L; 48 or 96h

Applications

After 96 h of incubation, cell viability was significantly decreased at the Alendronate sodium hydrate concentration of 10-4mol/L.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Ovariectomized female Wistar rats

Preparation Method

The animals were divided into four groups: ovariectomized (OVX group); ovariectomized and treated with 1mg/kg or 2mg/kg Alendronate sodium hydrate (ALN) salt diluted in saline solution (Group OVX + ALN1 and Group OVX + ALN2); and a sham operated group used as the control.

Dosage form

1 or 2mg/kg; s.c.; twice a week

Applications

The rats began treatment immediately following ovariectomy and both doses of Alendronate sodium hydrate proved effectiveness in controlling mineral loss.
