Biological Activity
ln Vitro | Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as quantitative tracers while the drugs were being developed. Because deuteration may have an effect on a drug's pharmacokinetics and metabolic properties, it is a cause for concern [1]. |
ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion Etidronic acid has an oral bioavailability of 1-10%. Further data regarding pharmacokinetics of etidronic acid are not readily available. Absorbed etidronic acid is eliminated in the urine, while the unabsorbed drug is eliminated in the feces. Etidronic acid has a volume of distribution of 0.3-1.3L/kg. Etidronic acid has a renal clearance of 0.09L/kg/h. THE DISTRIBUTION OF TECHNETIUM-99M HEDP IN NORMAL HUMAN ORGANS WAS MEASURED. THE BONE-SEEKING AGENT (99M)TC-SN-1-HYDROXYETHYLIDENE-1,1-DIPHOSPHONIC ACID UNEXPECTEDLY BINDS TO PARTICLES OF HUMAN ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AS WELL AS CORTICAL BONE IN VITRO. MECHANISMS ADDITIONAL TO THE SIMPLE IONIC ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE PHOSPHONATE GROUPS OF HEDP & METAL CATIONS SUCH AS CA2+ ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPTAKE OF (99M)TC-HEDP BY BODY TISSUES. THE AFFINITY CONSTANT WHICH CHARACTERIZES THE BINDING OF (99)TC-HYDROXYETHYLENE DIPHOSPHONATE (TC-HEDP) WITH HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN WAS 7.8X10+4. A SINGLE SLOPE WAS OBTAINED. Metabolism / Metabolites Etidronic acid is not metabolized _in vivo_ Not metabolized. Route of Elimination: Etidronate disodium is not metabolized. Within 24 hours, approximately half the absorbed dose is excreted in urine; the remainder is distributed to bone compartments from which it is slowly eliminated. Unabsorbed drug is excreted intact in the feces. Half Life: In normal subjects, plasma half-life of etidronic acid, based on non-compartmental pharmacokinetics is 1 to 6 hours. Biological Half-Life The half life of etidronate is approximately 1-6 hours. |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary Bisphosphonates, when attached to bone tissue, are absorbed by osteoclasts, the bone cells that breaks down bone tissue. Although the mechanism of action of non-nitrogenous bisphosphonates has not been fully elucidated, available data suggest that they bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals in the bone matrix, preferentially at the sites of increased bone turnover and inhibit the formation and dissolution of the crystals. Other actions may include direct inhibition of mature osteoclast function, promotion of osteoclast apoptosis, and interference with osteoblast-mediated osteoclast activation. Etidronic acid does not interfere with bone mineralization. In malignancy-related hypercalcemia, etidronic acid decreases serum calcium by inhibiting tumour-induced bone resorption and reducing calcium flow from the resorbing bone into the blood. Etidronic acid also reduces morbidity of osteolytic bone metastases by inhibiting tumour-induced bone resorption. Etidronic acid may promote osteoclast apoptosis by competing with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the cellular energy metabolism. The osteoclast initiates apoptosis and dies, leading to an overall decrease in the breakdown of bone. Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Because no information is available on the use of etidronate during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. However, absorption of etidronate by a breastfed infant is unlikely. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Therapeutic Uses Chelating Agents EXPTL USE: 1-HYDROXYETHANE-1,1-DIPHOSPHONIC ACID, DICHLOROMETHANEDIPHOSPHONIC ACID OR THEIR SALTS OR ESTERS REDUCED THE INCIDENCE OF TUMOR CELL METASTASIS IN BONE IN HUMANS. BONE SCANNING AGENT WHEN LABELED WITH (99M)TECHNETIUM CHELATING AGENT; CALCIUM REGULATING AGENT IN HUMAN MEDICINE MEDICATION (VET): 1-HYDROXYETHANE-1,1-DIPHOSPHONIC ACID, DICHLOROMETHANEDIPHOSPHONIC ACID OR THEIR SALTS OR ESTERS REDUCED THE INCIDENCE OF TUMOR CELL METASTASIS IN BONE IN ANIMALS. Pharmacodynamics Etidronic acid is a first generation bisphosphonate that inhibits the action of osteoclasts, preventing bone resporption. It has a wide therapeutic index as overdoses are not associated with severe toxicity and a long duration of action as it slowly releases from the bone. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of upper gastrointestinal adverse reactions. |
Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
