| Research Abstract |
It has been reported that the pharmacological characteristics of bisphosphonates vary depending on the side chain attached to the carbon atom of the P-C-P bond. TRK-530 is a novel synthetic bisphosphonate with an anti-oxidant methylthio-phenylthio side chain. This compound has been suggested to have both anti-inflammatory and anti-bone-resorbing effects. Such a compound could be effective for the treatment of diseases with excessive bone resorption accompanied by inflammation. We have been studying this compound as a potential therapeutic agent for periodontitis. In the present research, we found that 1) TRK-530 inhibited osteoclastic bone resorption in animals and in bone organ culture, 2) topical sub-peritoneal injection of TRK-530 induced a long-lasting and prominent increase in the bone mineral density of alveolar bone in animals, 3) both systemic and topical administration of TRK-530 prevented alveolar bone loss in animals with experimental periodontitis, and 4) TRK-530 prevented PGE2 synthesis by inhibiting the expression of COX-2 mRNA. The above results suggest that TRK-530 might be useful for the treatment of alveolar bone loss in periodontitis.
