Abstract
Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used for treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis due to their strong affinity for hydroxyapatite (HA) in bones. Minor structural variations among BPs can significantly affect their therapeutic potential. This study aimed to synthesize risedronate (RSD) and its two regioisomers (2-RSD, 4-RSD) and investigate the impact of these variations on bone affinity, permeability, and cytotoxicity.
Methods: RSD and its regioisomers were synthesized using a microwave-assisted method. Bone affinity was assessed through sorption studies on HA and two polymer-ceramic materials mimicking bone properties. Compound permeability was predicted using the Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by analyzing the response of bacterial cells to BPs using metabolic activity assays.
Results: 2-RSD demonstrated a higher bone affinity and similar permeability than commercially available RSD. 2-RSD also showed reduced cytotoxicity in bacterial cell assays, indicating enhanced biocompatibility. These findings suggest that minor structural changes can lead to significant differences in therapeutic efficacy.
Conclusions: The study highlights the potential of the 2-RSD as a more effective treatment for bone diseases. Structural variations in BPs can greatly influence their biological properties, paving the way for the development of improved therapeutic agents.
