Etidronate is a salt of etidronic acid (brand name Didronel, also known as EHDP) a diphosphonate, which is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic Paget’s disease of bone and in the prevention and treatment of heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement or due to spinal cord injury. Didronel is not approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. This drugs acts primarily on bone. It can inhibit the formation, growth, and dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals and their amorphous precursors by chemisorption to calcium phosphate surfaces. Inhibition of crystal resorption occurs at lower doses than are required to inhibit crystal growth. Both effects increase as the dose increases. Preclinical studies indicate etidronate disodium does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Didronel is not metabolized. The amount of drug absorbed after an oral dose is approximately 3 percent. Bisphosphonates, when attached to bone tissue, are absorbed by osteoclasts, the bone cells that breaks down bone tissue. Although the mechanism of action of non-nitrogenous bisphosphonates has not been fully elucidated, available data suggest that they bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals in the bone matrix, preferentially at the sites of increased bone turnover and inhibit the formation and dissolution of the crystals. Other actions may include direct inhibition of mature osteoclast function, promotion of osteoclast apoptosis, and interference with osteoblast-mediated osteoclast activation. Etidronic acid may promote osteoclast apoptosis by competing with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the cellular energy metabolism. The osteoclast initiates apoptosis and dies, leading to an overall decrease in the breakdown of bone.

DIDRONEL

Approved Use

Didronel is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic Paget’s disease of bone and in the prevention and treatment of heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement or due to spinal cord injury. Didronel is not approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. Paget’s Disease: Didronel is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic Paget's disease of bone. Didronel therapy usually arrests or significantly impedes the disease process as evidenced by: --Symptomatic relief, including decreased pain and/or increased mobility (experienced by 3 out of 5 patients). --Reductions in serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxyproline levels (30 percent or more in 4 out of 5 patients). --Histomorphometry showing reduced numbers of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and more lamellar bone formation. Bone scans showing reduced radionuclide uptake at pagetic lesions. In addition, reductions in pagetically elevated cardiac output and skin temperature have been observed in some patients. In many patients, the disease process will be suppressed for a period of at least 1 year following cessation of therapy. The upper limit of this period has not been determined. The effects of the Didronel treatment in patients with asymptomatic Paget's disease have not been studied. However, Didronel treatment of such patients may be warranted if extensive involvement threatens irreversible neurologic damage, major joints, or major weight-bearing bones. Heterotopic Ossification: Didronel is indicated in the prevention and treatment of heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement or due to spinal cord injury. Didronel reduces the incidence of clinically important heterotopic bone by about two-thirds. Among those patients who form heterotopic bone, Didronel retards the progression of immature lesions and reduces the severity by at least half. Follow-up data (at least 9 months posttherapy) suggest these benefits persist. In total hip replacement patients, Didronel does not promote loosening of the prosthesis or impede trochanteric reattachment. In spinal cord injury patients, Didronel does not inhibit fracture healing or stabilization of the spine.

Sample Use Guides

should be taken as a single, oral dose. Paget’s Disease: Initial Treatment Regimens: 5 to 10 mg/kg/day, not to exceed 6 months, or 11 to 20 mg/kg/day, not to exceed 3 months. The recommended initial dose is 5 mg/kg/day for a period not to exceed 6 months. Doses above 10 mg/kg/day should be reserved for when 1) lower doses are ineffective or 2) there is an overriding need to suppress rapid bone turnover (especially when irreversible neurologic damage is possible) or reduce elevated cardiac output. Doses in excess of 20 mg/kg/day are not recommended.
Route of Administration: Oral
In vitro cytotoxicity of etidronic acid to MCF-7 cells was estimated on the basis of clonogenicity assays, while cell cycle effects were determined by using flow cytometry. A 24-hour treatment with etidronic acid (10 mM) with or without strontium chloride was cytototoxic to MCF-7cells. Etidronic acid (1, 10 mM) caused a decrease in the S-phase population and an increase in the G2/M population. Treatment of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with etidronic acid (10 mM) for six hours caused mutations in exons 6 and 8 of the p53 gene in MCF-7 cells.
