[摘要]：Bisphosphonates (BPs) are now the most widely used drugs for diseases associated with increased bone resorption, such as osteoporosis, and tumor bone diseases. A significant drawback of the BPs is their poor oral absorption that is enhanced by the presence of bile acid substituents in the bisphosphonate framework, with no toxic effects. A straightforward synthesis of bile acid-containing hydroxy-bisphosphonates and a full characterization of these pharmaceutically important molecules, including an evaluation of affinity and the mechanism of binding to hydroxyapatite, is presented. The biological activity of bile acid-containing bisphosphonate salts was determined using the neutral-red assay on the L929 cell line and primary cultures of osteoclasts. The bioactivity of the new compounds was found superior than bisphosphonates of established activity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
