Structure:
DrugBank Description: Odanacatib is an inhibiter of cathepsin K which was originally developed be Merck & Co as a new treatment for osteoporosis . The drug made it to phase III trials before abandoned due to increased stroke.
CAS Number: 603139-19-1
Molecular Weight: 525.56
DrugBank Indication: Investigated for use/treatment in osteoporosis .
DrugBank Pharmacology: Increases bone mineral density and reduces risk of fractures in osteoporosis .
DrugBank MoA: Odanacatib inhibits cathepsin K, likely by binding to its active site . Cathepsin K is a cysteine protease enzyme which is secreted by osteoclasts . Cathepsin K is responsible for the breakdown of collagen in the bone matrix as part of bone resorption. The inhibition of this enzyme results in decreased bone resorption without affecting bone deposition resulting in increased bone mineral density. This increased bone mineral density strengthens the bone which leads to fewer fractures in osteoporosis.
Targets: Cathepsin K inhibitor
Inclusion Criteria: Indication associated
