Product Description: Ibandronate Sodium is an orally active, selective inhibitor of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPP synthase). Ibandronate Sodium can block the mevalonate pathway to inhibit the isoprenylation modification of small GTPases (such as RAS, RHO family proteins), induce tumor cell apoptosis and inhibit bone resorption. Ibandronate Sodium inhibits tumor cell proliferation (such as ER+ breast cancer cells), promotes the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene FAS, and can produce synergistic anti-tumor effects with anti-estrogen compounds. Ibandronate Sodium is used in the study of osteoporosis and bone metastatic tumors (such as breast cancer bone metastasis)[1][2][3][4].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
