HIDE SMILES / InChI
Clodronate (also known as clodronic acid) is a drug used to treat a high level of calcium in the blood caused by changes in the body that happen with cancer. Clodronate is approved in some countries and is sold under trade trade name bonefos for oral use. Bonefos is indicated in the management of osteolytic lesions, hypercalcemia and bone pain associated with skeletal metastases in patients with carcinoma of the breast or multiple myeloma. Bonefos is also indicated for the maintenance of clinically acceptable serum calcium levels in patients with hypercalcemia of malignancy initially treated with an intravenous bisphosphonate. Bonefos forms complexes with divalent metal ions, and therefore simultaneous administration with food, antacids and mineral supplements may impair absorption. It was suggested, that the mechanism of action of clodronate was involved osteoclast apoptosis.

Sample Use Guides

A daily dose of 1600 mg should be taken as a single dose. When higher daily doses are used, the part of the dose exceeding 1600 mg should be taken separately (as a second dose) as recommended below.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: It was found that due to high bisphosphonate-bone binding affinity, bone surface exposure to clodronate for 3 min. had maximal resorption inhibition. The mechanism of action of both clodronate and zoledronic acid involved osteoclast apoptosis, whereas pamidronate had only minor apoptotic effect at dosages, which readily inhibited resorption. Zoledronic acid was not metabolised into an intracellular ATP-analogue in vitro in contrast to clodronate
