- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
G4544 reduces bone loss by inhibiting calcium resorption from bone. Preclinical evidence suggests that the mechanism of G4544 action is multifactorial and different from other current therapies used to treat bone loss, such as estrogen or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), calcitonin, or bisphosphonates (e.g., Zometa or Fosamax). G4544 preferentially accumulates in metabolically active regions of bone, inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and favorably alters bone mineral composition and properties.
