Product Description

Alendronate sodium hydrate, the sodium salt of alendronate, is a novel and potent farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor with IC50 of 460 nM. Alendronate sodium is a second generation bisphosphonate and synthetic analog of pyrophosphate with bone anti-resorption activity. Alendronate sodium binds to and inhibits the activity of geranyltranstransferase (farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase), an enzyme involved in terpenoid biosynthesis. Inhibition of this enzyme prevents the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids (FPP and GGPP) that are donor substrates of farnesylation and geranylgeranylation during the post-translational modification of small GTPase signalling proteins, which is important in the process of osteoclast turnover. As a result, osteoclast activity is inhibited and bone resorption and turnover are reduced.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The rate-limiting stage of phospholipid production, which is essential for osteoclast function, is inhibited by alendronate sodium hydrate when it directly acts on osteoclasts [1]. Alendronate Sodium Hydrate dose-dependently inhibits [3H]MVA uptake of sterols, with concurrent increases in dose markers for IPP and DMAPP [3]. Alendronate Sodium Hydrate inhibits [3H]mevalonolactone due to reduced levels of geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a protein of 18–25 kDa and a non-saponifiable inhibitor, including sterols in osteoclasts [2].
ln Vivo
In rabbits, alendronate sodium hydrate results in gastric erosion but not the development of gastric antrums. The frequency and magnitude of stomach antrums caused by caromethacin are increased by alendronate sodium hydrate. Gastric healing is delayed and the effects of the carbohydrate carotethacin are amplified by alendronate sodium hydrate [4]. When combined with paclitaxel (10–50 mg/kg/day twice or twice a day), alendronate sodium hydrate (0.04-0.1 mg/kg twice weekly or 0.1 mg/kg weekly) partially inhibits the bone metastasis of human PC-3 ML cells in mice treated with it. This can lead to a fatal outbreak of tumor growth of PC-3 ML in bone marrow and soft tissue, but the rate is significantly improved within 4-5 weeks [5].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
