Alendronate sodium
Based on 10 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Alendronate sodium is an orally active bisphosphonate which binds to bone surfaces and inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts. Alendronate sodium induces skeletal alterations in the chicken embryonic development model. Alendronate sodium can be used for osteoporosis research.
