clodronate
A nitrogen-free bisphosphonate analog of naturally occurring pyrophosphate. Clodronate disodium binds to calcium and inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption and hydroxyapatite crystal formation and dissolution, resulting in a reduction of bone turnover. This agent may control malignancy-associated hypercalcemia, inhibit osteolytic bone metastasis and decrease pain. clodronate
