Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Clodronic acid is a first generation (non-nitrogenous) bisphosphonate drug. Clinically used drugs can contain sodium clodronate tetrahydrate, sodium clodronate, disodium clodronate tetrahydrate or disodium clodronate.

Kato et al. (2017) report that clodronic acid-mediated inhibition of the vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT, SLC17A9) suggests that this drug has potential as a transporter-targeted (and notably, non-opioid) analgesic drug for the treatment of chronic neuropathic and inflammatory pain . In this study clodronic acid was selective for VNUT compared to other vesicular transporters tested. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) and collagenase inhibitor (LOPAC library)
DESCRIPTION Clodronic acid (INN) or clodronate disodium (USAN) is a first generation (non-nitrogenous) bisphosphonate. It is an anti-osteoporotic drug approved for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and men to reduce vertebral fractures, hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia in malignancy, multiple myeloma and fracture related pain because of its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects shown as a reduction in inflammatory markers like IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-alfa. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
DESCRIPTION Clodronate binds to calcium and inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption and hydroxyapatite crystal formation and dissolution, resulting in a reduction of bone turnover. This agent may control malignancy-associated hypercalcemia, inhibit osteolytic bone metastasis and decrease pain. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
