Etidronate (CAT: A000482) is a non-aminobisphosphonate compound with versatile pharmacological properties. It exhibits protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitory activity, making it valuable for treating Paget’s disease and preventing heterotopic ossification. The mechanism of action includes direct inhibition of osteoclastic bone-resorbing activity, induction of apoptosis, and disruption of actin rings in osteoclasts. In experimental studies, Etidronate has demonstrated efficacy in suppressing mechanical allodynia and preserving bone mineral density in arthritic animal models. Its multifaceted activities contribute to its relevance in pharmaceutical and medical research, particularly in bone health and pain management studies.

Overview of Clinical Research

Etidronate is a bone resorption factor inhibitor and a DNA synthesis inhibitor. The phase I trial in Bone metastases in Russia (IV) (NCT02673060) is ongoing.
