Outline of Final Research Achievements

To elucidate the effect and mechanism of natural compounds which have both anti-resorptive action and anabolic action in bone metabolism, the following studies in vitro and in vivo were performed. It is demonstrated that honokiol might promote osteoblast differentiation throgh retinoid X receptor and sonic hedgehog pathway. The in vivo study revealed that honokiol suppresses bone loss in ovariectomized and RANKL-treated osteoporosis model mice. We also found that Nitensidine A from Pterogynine Nitens and Epimagnolin A from Magnolia Flower interact with ABCB1.
