Ibandronate Sodium

Molecular Formula: C9H22NNaO7P2

CAS Number: 138844-81-2
Appearance: White or pale yellow powder and granular

Ibandronate Sodium is the sodium salt form of ibandronic acid, a synthetic nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate. Ibandronic acid inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, resulting in a reduction in geranylgeranyl GTPase signaling proteins and apoptosis of osteoclasts. This agent increases bone mineral density, decreases bone remodeling, inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and reduces metastases-related and corticosteroid-related bone pain.
