To evaluate the effect of diclofenac, indomethacin and ibuprofen conjugates on the bone.
A total of 120 Wistar female rats (aged 50 days, weight 100-150g) were administered intramuscularly with Dexamethasone disodium phosphate (7mg/kg of the body weight, once in a week) to induce the osteoporosis. At the end of the five weeks the rats were treated with Alendronate sodium (30mg/animal/day p.o.), and the prodrugs 1, 2, 3 at the dose of 25, 50 and 100mg/kg p.o. for 30 days
The osteoporotic bone demonstrated the signs of improvement through various parameters like serum ALP, bone weight, length, diameter, bone ash, calcium, phosphorus and bone mineral density.
The results confirm that these prodrugs have the potential for the improvement of osteoporotic bones.
Bone mineral density, osteoporosis, serum alkaline phosphatase
