CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
At the cellular level, alendronate shows preferential localization
to sites of bone resorption, specifically under osteoclasts. The
osteoclasts adhere normally to the bone surface but lack the
ruffled border that is indicative of active resorption. Alendronate
does not interfere with osteoclast recruitment or attachment,
but it does inhibit osteoclast activity. While incorporated in
bone matrix, alendronate is not pharmacologically active.
Thus, alendronate must be continuously administered to
suppress osteoclasts on newly formed resorption surfaces.
PHARMACOKINETICS
_Absorption_
Like other bisphosphonates, alendronate is poorly absorbed
following oral administration. Absorption is decreased by food,
especially by products containing calcium or other polyvalent
cations. Bioavailability is about 0.4% when administered half
an hour before food, reduced from 0.7% in the fasting state
absorption is negligible when taken up to 2 hours after a meal.
_Distribution_
The mean steady-state volume of distribution, exclusive of
bone, is at least 28L in humans. Concentrations of drug in
plasma following therapeutic oral doses are too low (less than
5ng/mL) for analytical detection. Protein binding in human
plasma is approximately 78%.
_Metabolism_
There is no evidence that alendronate is metabolized in animals
or humans.
_Elimination_
About half of the absorbed portion is excreted in the urine;
the remainder is sequestered to bone for a prolonged period.
