PLASMA CALCIUM LEVEL Regulatedby 3 hormones: • Parathormone(PTH) • Calcitonin • Calcitriol(active form of vit D) d
PARATHORMONE (PTH) Stimulus for secretion of PTH: • Fall in plasma Ca2+ • Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR) present on the surface of parathyroid cells. d
ACTIONS OF PTH PTH increases plasma calcium levels by: • Bone: • Bone resorption: increases 2. Kidney: • Calcium reabsorption in the distal tubule: increases 3. Intestines: • Calcium absorption increases indirectly • Enhance the formation of calcitriol(active form of vitD) • Calcitriol promotes intestinal absorption of calcium d
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF PTH Mainly on bone: • Bone resorption: • Activation of osteoclast: Expression of PTH receptors: • PTH receptor is a G protein coupled receptor • Expressed on osteoblasts • Absent on osteoclasts d
PTH ACTION ON OSTEOBLAST • PTH receptor located on osteoblast membrane • PTHinduces a factor 'Receptor for activation of nuclear factor-KB-ligand' (RANKL) • RANKL diffuses and combines with RANK on osteoclastprecursors PRECURSORS TRANSFORM INTO OSTEOCLASTS d
TERIPARATIDE • RECOMBINANT HUMAN PARATHYROID HORMONE • Approved for the treatment of: • Severe osteoporosis • PTH at high concentration: • Bone resorption predominates • PTH at low concentration with intermittent exposure: • Bone formation predominates • Only agent which stimulates bone formation • Equally or more effective than estrogens and BPNs: • In reducing risk of vertebral as well as non-vertebral fractures d
TERIPARATIDE • Injected s.c. once daily • Given once daily produces intermittent action LIMITATIONS: • High cost • Need for daily s.c.injection d
Drugs for Osteoporosis • Calcium and Vitamin D3 • Bisphosphonates • HRT • Raloxifene-selective oestrogen receptor modulator (SERM) which selectively binds to oestrogen receptors on bone. • Teriparatide- a fragment of recombinant human parathyroid hormone • Calcitonin- Given as a nasal spray of synthetic calcitonin d
Bisphosphonates • First line treatment for primary and secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures • Reduce bone resorptionby inhibiting action of osteoclasts • Accelerate apoptosis of osteoclasts • Disruption of cytoskeleton and ruffled border • Most effective antiresorptive drugs • Available orally as daily or weekly tablet, or as a yearly injection • Daily and weekly- alendronate, risedronate • Yearly IV- zoledronate infusion d
Side Effect • Oesophageal irritation/ ulceration if insufficient water taken with tablet or lie down after taking d
