Proton pump (H(+)/K(+)-ATPase) inhibitors weaken the protective effect of alendronate on bone mechanical properties in estrogen-deficient rats.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2012, Vol 64, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Alendronate can induce esophagitis and stomach ulceration requiring the concurrent use of drugs which decrease HCl production. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of concurrent administration of proton pump inhibitors, omeprazole or pantoprazole, and alendronate on the mechanical properties of long bones in bilaterally ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Methods: The experiments were carried out on 3-month-old Wistar rats, divided into following groups: non-ovariectomized control rats, OVX control rats, OVX rats administered omeprazole or pantoprazole, OVX rats administered alendronate, OVX rats administered alendronate and omeprazole or pantoprazole. The drugs were administered to the rats for 28 days: alendronate at a dose of 3mg/kg po, omeprazole or pantoprazole at a dose of 3mg/kg ip. Mechanical properties of tibialmetaphysis, femoral diaphysis and femoral neck were assessed. Bone macrometric parameters, mass and mass of bone mineral were also examined in the tibia and femur. Results: Estrogen deficiency caused development of osteopenia with significant worsening of bone mechanical properties. Alendronate counteracted the deleterious changes in bone mechanical properties of the tibial metaphysis and femoral neck induced by estrogen deficiency. Pantoprazole worsened mechanical properties of the tibia in estrogen-deficient rats. Omeprazole or pantoprazole administered concurrently with alendronate attenuated the effect of alendronate on mechanical properties of the tibial metaphysis and femoral neck in ovariectomized rats. The unfavorable effect of pantoprazole was stronger than that of omeprazole. Conclusion: Proton pump inhibitors weakened the protective effect of alendronate on bone mechanical properties in estrogen-deficient rats.
