Anti-tumor effect of bisphosphonate (YM529) on non-small cell lung cancer cell lines

Abstract: Background: YM529 is a newly developed nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (BP) classified as a third-generation BP that shows a 100-fold greater potency against bone resorption than pamidronate, a second-generation BP. This agent is, therefore expected to be extremely useful clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia. Recently, YM529 as well as other third-generation BPs have also been shown to exert anti-tumor effects against various types of cancer cells both in vitro or/and in vivo. In t… Show more

“…YM529 (1‐Hydroxy‐2‐imidazo [1,2‐a]pyridin‐3‐yl, minodronate) is a newly developed N‐BP which is expected to be useful for the treatment of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia in Japan. Further, YM529 has been reported to show anti‐tumor effects against human cancer cells such as myeloma cells, 14 leukemia cells, 15 renal cell cancer cells, 16 lung cancer cells, 17 and prostate cancer cells 12 both in vitro and in vivo . A second generation BP, pamidronate, was reported to show anti‐tumor effects on HCC cells in vitro and in vivo .…”

“…Approximately 80% of lung cancers can be histologically classified as non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The majority of patients present with locally advanced (37%) or metastatic (38%) disease at the time of diagnosis 1. It has been estimated that ∼30–65% of patients with metastatic lung cancer will develop bone metastases 2, 3.…”
