Bisphosphonates: Mechanisms of Action [PDF]
The geminal bisphosphonates are a class of drug, developed in the last 30 years, characterised by a P-C-P bond. Consequently, they are analogues of pyrophosphate but are resistant to chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. The bisphosphonates bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals and inhibit their formation and dissolution. This physicochemical effect on

The mechanisms of action of metformin [PDF]
Metformin is a widely-used drug that results in clear benefits in relation to glucose metabolism and diabetes-related complications. The mechanisms underlying these benefits are complex and still not fully understood. Physiologically, metformin has been shown to reduce hepatic glucose production, yet not all of its effects can be explained by this ...
