Abstract
Interstitial collagenase present in human jaw cyst extract and purified human fibroblast-type collagenase (MMP-1) were both efficiently inhibited in vitro by clodronate, an osteoactive, antiresorptive bisphosphonate. The IC50 of clodronate to inhibit MMP-1 is 150 microM. These findings suggest an extended and hitherto undescribed properties for clodronate/biphosphonates in prevention and treatment of tissue degradation in both bone and soft tissue destructive diseases.Entities:
