MedKoo CAT#: 100950

CAS#: 165800-06-6 (free acid hydrate)

Description: Zoledronic acid is a synthetic imidazole bisphosphonate analog of pyrophosphate with anti-bone-resorption activity. A third-generation bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid binds to hydroxyapatite crystals in the bone matrix, slowing their dissolution and inhibiting the formation and aggregation of these crystals. This agent also inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, an enzyme involved in terpenoid biosynthesis. Inhibition of this enzyme prevents the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids, donor substrates of farnesylation and geranylgeranylation during the post-translational modification of small GTPase signalling proteins, which are important in the process of osteoclast turnover.

More Info:

Biological target: Zoledronic acid monohydrate (Zoledronate monohydrate) is a third-generation bisphosphonate (BP), with potent anti-resorptive activity.
In vitro activity: In the present paper this study shows that by using ZOL (Zoledronic acid) that inhibition of the mevalonate pathway at the stage of farnesylation (FDP synthase) compromises the growth of the CB-MA9 cells, particularly when the cells require membrane dependent cell-cell interactions in 3D colony culture. ZOL was also found to effectively inhibit the formation and size of cobblestone like structures which form when HSCs or MA9 cells migrate burrowing underneath the stromal layer.

In vivo activity: In the SKOV3ip1 mouse model, restraint stress increased tumor growth by 4.07-fold (mean difference 0.834 g) and nodule counts by 3.54-fold (mean difference 14.14), while ZA (Zoledronic acid) significantly abrogated this effect (Figure 5b; p < 0.001). In the HeyT30 model, stress significantly increased tumor growth by 2.0-fold (mean difference 1.769 g), and nodule counts by 2.5-fold (mean difference 4.5). Similarly to the SKOV3ip1 model, ZA treatment prevented the effects of stress on tumor growth and nodule development in the HeyT30 model (Figure 5c; p < 0.05).
