The pharmacological profile of a novel highly potent bisphosphonate, OX14 (1-fluoro-2-(imidazo-[1,2 alpha]pyridin-3-yl)ethyl-bisphosphonate), with reduced bone affinity, which is as effective as zoledronate in the treatment of myeloma bone disease in JJN3-NOD/SCID-γ mice

Bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of a variety of diseases with skeletal complications. With the development of more potent compounds, there is the potential for further improvement. One concept is to use compounds with a reduced affinity for bone, reducing their long-term retention and possible adverse events, as well as potentially enhancing their non-skeletal benefits. We hypothesise that a highly potent bisphosphonate with low bone affinity, known as OX14, will be ...
