Abstract excerpt
A human in vitro resorption assay has been developed using osteoclastoma-derived osteoclasts and used to evaluate novel antiresorptive agents including antagonists of the alphavbeta3 integrin, and inhibitors of cathepsin K and the osteoclast ATPase. The potency of novel compounds in the in vitro resorption assay correlates with functional assays for each class of inhibitor: the human alphavbeta3-mediated cell...
