The crystal structures of 3-methylpiperid-1-ylmethane-1,1-diphosphonic (2), 4-methylpiperid-1-ylmethane-1,1-diphosphonic (3), 2-ethylpiperid-1-ylmethane-1,1-diphosphonic (4), and 2-methylpiperid-1-ylmethane-1,1-diphosphonic (5) acids have been determined and are discussed with respect to their molecular organization and crystal-packing preferences. The chair conformation, predominant also in solution, favors equatorial positioning of

Extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) is a potent suppressor of physiological calcification in bone and pathological calcification in blood vessels. Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases (eNPPs) generate PP(i) via the hydrolysis of ATP released into extracellular compartments by poorly understood mechanisms. Here we report

Clodronate, alendronate, and other bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of bone diseases characterized by excessive osteoclastic bone resorption. The exact mechanisms of action of bisphosphonates have not been identified but may involve a toxic effect on mature osteoclasts

The aim of the present study was to label a therapeutic dose of zoledronic acid (ZOL) with Tc-99m, evaluate its in vitro stability and compare its biodistribution to (99m)Tc-methylene biphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) in normal rabbits. Preparation of 0.50 mg of (99m)Tc-ZOL
