Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In nephrogenic vesicles (IC50=1.1 mM) and osteoclast-derived vesicles (IC50=466 nM), tiludronate inhibits proton transport five times more potently than it does in other vesicles. Moreover, tiludronate efficiently suppresses the activity of pure yeast V-ATPase and inhibits proton transport in yeast microsomal preparations (IC50=3.5mM). Tiludronate quickly, pH-dependently, and reversibly inhibits osteoclast V-ATPase-mediated proton transport [3]. |
| ln Vivo | Tiludronate inhibits bone resorption in a dose-dependent manner. Mature osteoclasts can be affected by tiludronate through decreased proton secretion into the resorption space and increased osteoclast separation from the bone matrix. Several models of osteoporosis have also been used to test teludronate. Tiladronate sodium (5–200 mg/kg; oral) prevented the loss of bone mass in a male ovariectomized rat model. This was measured chemically by evaluating the calcium and phosphate content or physically by assessing bone weight and density[3]. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion A single 400mg dose of tiludronic acid reaches a Cmax of 3.35±1.07mg/L, with a Tmax of 1.7—0.9h, and and AUC of 27.2±9.0mg\*h/L. Tiludronic acid has an oral bioavailability of 2-11% with an average of 6%. Tiludronic acid is 60% eliminated in the urine as the unchanged parent drug. The volume of distribution of tiludronic acid is estimated to be between 30L and 60L. Due to the unknown clearance rate from bone, this may underestimate the true volume of distribution. Tiludronic acid has a renal clearance of 0.68L/h in healthy subjects and 0.47L/h in subjects with Paget's disease. Approximately 50% of tilurdronic acid binds to bone but the rate of clearance from the bone is unknown. Metabolism / Metabolites Tiludronic acid is not metabolized _in vitro_ in human liver microsomes. Biological Half-Life The mean plasma elimination half-life is 150 hours, though the elimination rate from bone is unknown. The terminal phase half life is approximately 40h after a single IV dose of 10-30mg. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Because no information is available on the use of tiludronate during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. However, absorption of tiludronate 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. Protein Binding Tiludronic acid is approximately 90% protein bound in serum. It is mostly bound to albumin. |

| Additional Infomation |
Tiludronic acid is an organochlorine compound. Tiludronate, or (4-chlorophenyl)thio-methylene-1,1-bisphosphonate, is a first generation bisphosphonate similar to [etidronic acid] and [clodronic acid]. These drugs were developed to mimic the action of pyrophosphate, a regulator of calcification and decalcification. Tiludronic acid was first described in the literature in 1988 as a potential treatment for Paget's disease of bone. Tiludronic acid was granted FDA approval on 7 March 1997. Tiludronic acid is a Bisphosphonate. See also: Tiludronate Disodium (annotation moved to). Drug Indication Tiludronic acid is indicated to treat Paget's disease of bone in patients with serum alkaline phosphatase levels ≥2 times the upper limit of normal, with symptoms, or with risk of future complications. Mechanism of Action Bisphosphonates are taken into the bone where they bind to hydroxyapatite. Bone resorption by osteoclasts causes local acidification, releasing the bisphosphonate, which is taken into the osteoclast by fluid-phase endocytosis. Endocytic vesicles become acidified, releasing bisphosphonates into the cytosol of osteoclasts where they act. Osteoclasts mediate resorption of bone. When osteoclasts bind to bone they form podosomes, ring structures of F-actin. Tiludronate inhibits protein-tyrosine-phosphatase, which increases tyrosine phosphorylation, and disrupts podosome formation. Tiludronic acid also inhibits V-ATPases in the osteoclast, though the exact subunits are unknown, preventing F-actin from forming podosomes. Disruption of the podosomes causes osteoclasts to detach from bones, preventing bone resorption. |
