Minodronic acid (RECALBON®, Bonoteo®), a third-generation bisphosphonate, was approved in Japan for the oral treatment of osteoporosis. This drug increases the bone mineral density and the strength by inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, such as minodronic acid (RECALBON®, Bonoteo®) induce osteoclast apoptosis by inhibiting farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS), a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway. Inhibition of FPPS in osteoclasts prevents the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids that are required for the prenylation of small GTPase signaling proteins necessary for osteoclast function. Similarly, nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates have been shown to inhibit farnesyl pyrophosphate/geranyl pyrophosphate synthase activity.

Sample Use Guides
Normally in adults, 1 mg of minodronic acid (RECALBON®, Bonoteo®) is taken orally together with enough amount of water (180 ml) (or lukewarm water) once a day at the time of awakening. The drug must be taken without lying down at least for 30 minutes before the first food, beverage (other than plain water), and other oral medication.
Route of Administration:
Oral
The bone-binding characteristics of minodronic acid and morphological changes in rabbit osteoclasts were analyzed in vitro. In an osteoclast culture with 1 uM minodronic acid, 65% of minodronic acid was bound to bone, and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide release was inhibited by 96%. Cultured osteoclasts without minodronic acid treatment formed ruffled borders and bone resorption lacunae and had rich cytoplasm, whereas those treated with 1 uM minodronic acid were not multinucleated, stained densely with toluidine blue, and were detached from the bone surface.
