INTRODUCTION
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by deterioration of bone mass and
microarchitecture of bone resulting in increased bone fragility and propensity
to fracture .
A/T TO WHO: T SCORE : < -2.5,DEFINES OSTEOPOROSIS.
SEX INCIDENCE:Women-30-5O%, Men -15-30%.
AGE INCIDENCE: women >=45yrs, Men >60-70 yrs.
SITES INVOLVED: Vertebral bodies ,distal radius ,proximal femur .But
generalized fragility occurs and fractures at Ribs and long bones are
common.
# incidence increases with age and spine and hip # a/w bad prognosis.

CALCITONIN
 Inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption and inc. bone mass in pts
.with OP ,most prominently in pts.with high intrinsic rates of bone
turnover.
 In OP,reduces the incidence of vertebral compression # by about
40% in postmenopausal women.
Prep available:
 Calcitonin nasal spray :200U /d. in alt.nostril every day.
PTH AND RELATED COMPOUNDS:
TERIPARATIDE
 Recombinant Form of PTH .FDA approved in OP.
 It is an OSTEO ANABOLIC HORMONE,the only drug causing bone
formation.
INDICATIONS:
 Postmenopausal women with OP at high risk of # or previous h/o
OP #.
 Men with primary or hypogonadal OP at high risk of #.
 Steroid induced OP.
 Pts.With high risk of # or who have failed or intolerant to other
osteoporotic T/T.
CONT
MOA:
 OSTEOBLAST FUNC.
 INCREASES GI CA ABSORPTION,
 INCR. RENAL TUBULAR REABSORPTION OF CA.,
 BMD (by9-13%) ,BONE MASS AND STRENGHT.
 Decreased vertebral fracture by 65-69%.
PREP AVAILABLE:
 Inj FORTEO : 20mcg s/c daily for 2 yrs. Given along with anti resorptive
therapy.
 The use of teriparatide is limited to 2 years in any life span, and this is
because of the development of OSTEOSARCOMA in pre-clinical animal
studies and the decrease of effects to increase BMD.
 Recently Denosumab and Teriparatide Administration (DATA) study
indicated that the combination of denosumab and teriparatide produced
a more prominent effect on BMD than each drug did alone .
OTHERS
 Strontium ranelate :previously used but now withdrawn
due to cardiac events and thromboembolism.
 Thiazides: decreases urinary Ca excretion .
Recent advances in osteoporosis new copy
DENOSUMAB
 Fully human monoclonal IGG2 ab that inhibits RANKL.
MOA:
 RANK-L is member of TNF and expressed on osteoclasts.
 RANK-L binds to RANK and promotes osteoclast proliferation and
differentiation of OC.
 Denosumab inhibits the RANK AND RANK-L interaction and thus
inhibits bone resorption in osteoporosis.
 In June 2010 FDA approved its use for postmenopausal op.
CONT
PREP AVAILABLE:
 Inj 60 mg S/C once every 6MN.
 Supplement with Ca 1000mg/d and Vit D 400IU/D.
 S/E: BACK PAIN,HEADACHE, OSTEONECROSIS OF JAW
 Humanized monoclonal ab against Sclerostin and is under clinical
development.(PHASE 3)
 Sclerostin, a glycoprotein selectively secreted from osteocytes is an inhibitor of Wnt
signaling and potently inhibits bone formation.
 A phase 3 study demonstrated that Romosozumab was shown to markedly
increase the BMD of lumbar spine by 13.3% and proximal femur by 6.8% in just 12
months and prevent vertebral and clinical fractures in postmenopausal women with
osteoporosis .
 Mouse and human genetic data indicate that canonical Wnt–β-catenin signaling
enhances osteoblastic bone formation and inhibits bone resorption via direct and
indirect mechanisms.
ROMOSOZUMAB
 Abaloparatide is a synthetic analog of PTH-related protein (PTHrP) .
 Abaloparatide is currently under development, most of its clinical data
come from a phase 3 clinical study (Abaloparatide Comparator Trial in
Vertebral Endpoints [ACTIVE]).
 IT increased BMD and reduced vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis over 18 months . The
reduction of non-vertebral fractures by abaloparatide was significant
when compared with placebo.
 The superior anti-fracture effects, especially on non-vertebral fractures
may render abaloparatide a safe and effective anabolic agent when
approved for the treatment of osteoporosis.
ABALOPARATIDE
ODANACATIB
 Cathepsin –K inhibitor.
 Cathepsin –K is a protease expressed in osteoclasts which degrades
the collagen type 1 in the bone matrix.
 Odanacatib inhibits cathepsin –k and thus dissolution of matrix
,bone resorption and thus improves BMD in postmenopausal op.
 But development of drug was withdrawn recently due to its serious
side effects(e.g stroke and atrial fibrillation)
IGF-1 AND BONE
 GH and IGF-1 are fundamental in achieving a normal longitudinal bone
growth and mass during the postnatal period and, in association with sex
steroids, play a major role in bone growth and development .
 IGF-1 is considered essential for longitudinal bone growth, skeletal
maturation, and bone mass acquisition not only during growth but also in
the maintenance of bone in adult life .
 Lower serum IGF-1 levels in women are strongly associated with low
BMD and an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures.
 In bone IGF-1 Is PTH dependent .Circulating IGF-1 Contributes to cortical
bone integrity.
 In future can serve to maintain the bone integrity in anorexia nervosa pts.
INTEGRIN ANTAGONISTS
 Integrin mediates cell and cell matrix interactions.
 Osteoclast adhesion to the bone surface imp.for bone
resorption.
 Integrin inhibitors inhibit this interaction and thus inhibit
bone resorption and incr. BMD.
 STILL UNDER STUDY.

Biomaterials:

 Strontium –modified calcium phosphate cement.
 Titanium-coated with ca.phos.

fluoxetine and venlafexine positively or negatively affected the bone loss
in rats with periodontitis.
