Biochem/physiol Actions Ibandronate sodium inhibits farnesyl diphosphate synthase (IC50 = 20 nM). Ibandronate sodium is also a bone resorption inhibitor. It has been investigated for in vitro anti-tumor effects, such as apoptosis induction, inhibitor of cell growth, inhibition of invasive behavior, and inhibition of angiogenesis and for its in vivo role in various cancers including breast and prostate cancers. |
