Bone remodeling is regulated by osteoclastic bone resorption and new bone formation. Estrogen deficiency induced by menopause results in marked bone loss in women. The elderly men exhibit marked bone loss due to androgen deficiency. We developed the new anti-osteoporosis drugs with minimal undesired effects on reproductive tissues. Carboranes restored bone loss in ovariectomized mice and orchidectomized mice without estrogenic activity or androgenic action in the sex organs. Therefore, Carboranes are novel selective estrogen receptor modulators(SERM) that may offer a new therapy option for osteoporosis.
