The Effects of Bisphosphonates Used in Osteoporosis Treatment on Breast Cancer: Analysis with Integrative Bioinformatics Methods, DFT, ADMET and Molecular Docking Analysis. (PubMed, Biology (Basel))
This study evaluated the structural, electronic, pharmacokinetic, and receptor-binding properties of three bisphosphonate derivatives, alendronate, risedronate, and zoledronate, to investigate their therapeutic relevance in osteoporosis and breast cancer. Network analyses highlighted pathways related to mevalonate metabolism, hormone signaling, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, and the RANK/RANKL/OPG axis. These findings support the potential repurposing of bisphosphonates, particularly zoledronate, for breast cancer-associated bone disease.
