Application

Alendronate sodium trihydrate has been used:
  • for calcium phosphate nanoparticles (nCaP)/ bisphosphonate (BP) coating on titanium implants and analyze its osteogenic capacity
  • in osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) isolated from aged osteoporosis patients- and healthy-person
  • to treat osteoblast progenitor cells and osteoblasts and study their effect on osteoblast behaviors using conventional assays and simple digital image analysis[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alendronate is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate[1] that is known to hinder the mevalonate pathway and limit osteoclastic function and activity. Alendronate sodium trihydrate is a bone resorption inhibitor, farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor, and CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor.
Alendronate sodium trihydrate is a bone resorption inhibitor; farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor (IC50 = 460 nM); CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor.

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, it is recommended to aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. After diluting in H2O, under what conditions should the solution be stored and what is the shelf-life?

    1 answer
    1. Following reconstitution, it is recommended to aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.

      Helpful?

  2. How should I dissolve Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate?

    1 answer
    1. This product is soluble in water at a concentration of 10 mg/mL.

      Helpful?

  3. I see that Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate, is a trihydrate. How was the water content determined?

    1 answer
    1. Our supplier typically determines the water content by a loss on drying. We have not tested the water content in our labs here at Sigma by that method; we typically confirm the supplier’s value by CHN (elemental analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, comparing the measured values to the theoretical values for the trihydrate).

      Helpful?

  4. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    1 answer
    1. Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product.

  5. What quality control assays are typically done on Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate?

    1 answer
    1. The assays typically done on Product No. A4978 are appearance, solubility, elemental analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) and proton NMR (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The results of these assays may be found on the certificate of analysis for each lot.
