Bisphosphonates are important inhibitors of bone resorp- tion and widely used clinically to treat osteoporosis, metabolic bone diseases and other orthopaedic disorders . Inhibiting osteoclasts via the mevalonate pathway is recognized as the primary mechanism of its inhibitory action. Recent evidence suggests that bisphosphonates may regulate essential signaling molecules involved in osteoclastogenesis such as RANKL (receptor activator of NF-kB ligand) which are synthesized by osteoblasts. In this report we have investigated into the neridronate-osteoblast interactions in modulating essential signaling molecule such as RANKL.
