Product Description
Clodronic acid is an orally bioactive bisphosphonate used to study diseases associated with osteoporosis and excessive bone resorption. Clodronic acid inhibits bone resorption by inducing osteoclast apoptosis. Clodronic acid can effectively maintain or improve bone density.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Oral clodronic acid has a bioavailability of 1-2%. A 200mg intravenous dose reaches a Cmax of 16.1mg/L with an AUC of 44.2mg\*h/L. A 200mg intramuscular dose reaches a Cmax of 12.8mg/L with an AUC of 47.5mg\*h/L. Further pharmacokinetic data for clodronic acid are not readily available.
Clodronate is eliminated unchanged in the urine.
The renal clearance of clodronate is approximately 90mL/min.
Metabolism / Metabolites
Clodronate is not metabolized in humans.
Clodronate is not metabolized in humans. It can be metabolized intracellularly to a beta-gamma-methylene (AppCp-type) analog of ATP (AppCCl2p), which is cytotoxic to macrophages in vitro.
Half Life: Approximately 13 hours.
Biological Half-Life
The mean plasma half life of clodronate is 5.6h.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity Summary
The bisphosphonate group binds strongly to the bone mineral, hydroxyapatite. This explains the specific pharmacological action of these compounds on mineralized tissues, especially bone. The exact mechanism of action of clodronate is not known, however it is known that it does not inhibit protein isoprenylation but can be metabolized intracellularly to a β-γ-methylene (AppCp-type) analog of ATP (AppCCl2p), which is cytotoxic to macrophages in vitro. Inhibition of the ADP/ATP translocase by the metabolite AppCCl2p is a likely route by which clodronate causes osteoclast apoptosis and inhibits bone resorption. Recently, the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum was shown to take up bisphosphonates by pinocytosis. In these cells, clodronate, but not other pharmacologically active bisphosphonates, was incorporated into adenine nucleotides, which could potentially explain why this bisphosphonate sometimes seems to act differently than the other bisphosphonates. Clodronate, like all biphosphonates, also binds protein-tyrosine-phosphatase.
Protein Binding
Clodronic acid is 36% protein bound in plasma.

Additional Infomation
Pharmacodynamics
Clodronic acid is a first generation bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast mediated bone resorption. It has a wide therapeutic index as a large overdose is required for significant toxicity and a long duration of action due to the slow release from bone. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of hypocalcemia, hypovolemia, renal insufficiency, transient hyperphosphatemia, and transient hyperparathyroidism.

5 mM 0.8167 mL 4.0835 mL 8.1669 mL
10 mM 0.4083 mL 2.0417 mL 4.0835 mL

*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.

  • 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)
