Description
Risedronic acid (Risedronate) sodium, a bisphosphonate, is a potent anti-resorption agent that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and changes the bone metabolism. Risedronic acid sodium suppresses osteoblast differentiation and induced caspase- and isoprenoid depletion-dependent apoptosis. Risedronic acid sodium inhibits blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum (IC50 of 20.3 µM). Risedronic acid sodium inhibits the transfer of the farnesyl pyrophosphate group to parasite proteins
