Patent ID: 10479808

Abstract:
The hydrothermal reaction between bioactive metals (Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+) salts and clinically utilized bisphosphonate (BP) alendronic acid (ALEN) were performed to prepare several bisphosphonate-based biocompatible coordination complexes (pBioCCs). The invention describes the effect of three variables M2+/BP molar ratio, reaction temperature, and pH on the reaction outcomes yields an unprecedented number of crystalline materials of enough crystal quality for structural elucidation. The crystal structure was unveiled by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 K and their solid-state properties revealed in tandem with other characterization techniques: thermogravimetry, vibrational spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The invention provides materials with high structural stability and dissolution properties paving the way for better formulation strategies for alendronic acid (ALEN) through the design of pBioCCs for the treatment of bone-related diseases.
