Antagonism of the calcium-sensing receptor in the parathyroid gland leads to parathyroid hormone (PTH) release. Calcilytics are a new class of molecules designed to exploit this mechanism. In order to mimic the known bone-anabolic pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of s.c. administered PTH, such molecules must trigger sharp, transient and robust release of PTH. The results of two early clinical studies...
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), when injected daily as either the intact hormone PTH(1–84) or the active fragment PTH(1–34) (teriparatide), is an efficacious bone anabolic treatment option for osteoporosis patients. Injections lead to rapid and transient spikes in hormone exposure levels, a profile which is a prerequisite to effectively form bone. Oral antagonists of the calcium-sensing receptor (calcilytics)...
Osteoporosis is a major and growing healthcare concern. When administered by daily injection, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its N-terminal fragments and analogs are potent bone-formation agents. Teriparatide, recombinant human PTH(1-34), is likely to be the first anabolic agent approved for treating osteoporosis, despite inducing osteosarcomas in rats. Native PTH and other PTH fragments and analogs...
