アレンドロン酸ナトリウム
**アレンドロン酸ナトリウム**は、主に破骨細胞による骨吸収を抑制するために使用される経口投与型の含窒素ビスホスホネートです。 **主な臨床的特徴:** * **主な適応症:** 獣医学では、難治性高カルシウム血症(猫の特発性高カルシウム血症、悪性腫瘍に伴う高カルシウム血症など)、猫の破歯細胞性吸収病巣(FORLs)、および骨肉瘤や組織球肉腫の補助治療として使用されます。 * **試験的段階:** 小動物における臨床経験はまだ非常に限られています。投与量や安全性プロファイルは現在も確立中です。 * **バイオアベイラビリティの課題:** 経口吸収率は極めて低く(2%未満)、食事によってさらに著しく低下するため、厳格な絶食プロトコルが必要です。 * **食道へのリスク:** ヒトにおいて重度の食道刺激やびらんを引き起こすことが知られており、ペットにおいては胃への迅速な移行を確実にするための特別な投与技術(水を追加で飲ませる、唇にバターを塗るなど)が必要です。
作用機序: Alendronate is a nitrogenous bisphosphonate that strongly binds to **hydroxyapatite** crystals in the bone matrix. * **Mechanism:** During bone resorption, the drug is locally released and endocytosed by **osteoclasts**. * **Intracellular Pathway:** Inside the osteoclast, alendronate inhibits the enzyme **farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS)** within the mevalonate pathway → prevents the prenylation (lipid modification) of small GTP-binding proteins (such as Ras, Rho, and Rab) → disrupts osteoclast cytoskeletal organization and ruffled border formation → induces osteoclast **apoptosis**. * **Secondary Effects:** By inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and promoting apoptosis, it indirectly reduces angiogenesis and may inhibit cancer cell proliferation in osteogenic neoplasms.
動物種別の用量
- Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs) · 3 mg/kg · PO · q12h · Note: Use for this indication in cats is at present very controversial. (Plumb 2006)
- Idiopathic hypercalcemia (after dietary change has been attempted) · Initially 2 mg/kg. Most cats respond to 10 mg (total dose). · PO · once weekly · Administer at least 6 mL of water after administration and butter the lips to increase salivation and increase transit. If efficacious, effects usually seen in 3-4 weeks. Monitor via serum ionized calcium.
- Refractory hypercalcemia · 0.5-1 mg/kg · PO · once daily
- Investigational treatment of histiocytic sarcoma complex · Loading dose of 70 mg/m 2 (NOT mg/kg) · PO · daily for 14 days, then every other day for 14 days, then once weekly · Monitor for esophageal problems (excessive salivation, regurgitation).

投与経路
禁忌
- Esophageal abnormalities (e.g., strictures, achalasia) that delay esophageal emptying
- Inability to stand or sit upright for 30 minutes post-administration (human guideline; veterinary relevance is managed via water chasers/activity)
- Severe renal dysfunction (Creatinine Clearance < 35 mL/min)
- Known hypersensitivity to alendronate or other bisphosphonates
有害事象
- Upper GI irritation and erosions
- Esophageal stricture or ulceration
- Vomiting
- Inappetence
- Jaw osteonecrosis (rare but documented in humans)
- Musculoskeletal pain
- Hypocalcemia (with overdose)
- Hypophosphatemia (with overdose)
薬物相互作用
- Aspirin · Increased risk of upper GI adverse effects and erosions.
- Calcium-containing oral products or food · Likely to significantly decrease the already low oral bioavailability of alendronate.
- Ranitidine (IV) · Increased oral alendronate bioavailability two-fold in a human study.
- NSAIDs · Humans taking NSAIDs with alendronate had no higher rates of GI adverse reactions than when NSAIDs were used with placebo, though caution is still advised. · moderate
- Antacids (Aluminum, Magnesium, Calcium) · Significantly decreases alendronate absorption · major
- Iron supplements · Decreases alendronate absorption · major
モニタリング
- Serum ionized calcium
- Serum phosphorus
- Serum potassium and sodium
- Signs of GI adverse effects (excessive salivation, regurgitation, dysphagia, inappetence)
過量投与
**Toxicity Profile:** No lethality was observed in dogs receiving doses up to 200 mg/kg. Lethality in rodents occurs at >550 mg/kg. **Clinical Signs of Overdose:** Hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and severe upper GI reactions (ulceration, erosions). **Treatment:** * **DO NOT induce vomiting** due to the risk of severe esophageal irritation. * Administer **oral antacids or milk** immediately to bind the drug and prevent systemic absorption. * Monitor serum calcium and phosphorus levels closely. * Provide supportive care as needed.
