| DrugBank Description: | Abaloparatide is an analog of PTHrP (parathyroid hormone-related protein). It was approved in April 28, 2017 by the FDA (as Tymlos) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. Abaloparatide is a synthetic peptide that is related to hPTHrP and has demonstrated in preclinical testing the potential to widen the anabolic window for bone therapeutics, stimulating bone formation with a limited effect on bone resorption and mineral mobilization. This could enable improved convenience over currently available anabolic therapies, resulting in greater compliance and, ultimately, greater benefit to patients. |

| DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in postmenopausal osteoporosis to reduce vertebral and/or non-vertebral fractures. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Abaloparatide (BA058), a proprietary analog of human parathyroid hormone-related protein (hPTHrP), is currently undergoing clinical trials by the company for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. PTHrP is a critical peptide for promoting new bone formation, with a distinct role from parathyroid hormone, or PTH, which primarily regulates calcium homeostasis and bone resorption. Clinical studies show increased bone mineral density (BMD) and levels of bone formation markers in a dose-response relationship. |
| DrugBank MoA: | In target cells, abaloparatide acts as an agonist on PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) and activates both G protein–mediated cAMP signaling and β-arrestin-mediated ERK-1/2 signaling pathways with similar potency. Abaloparatide binds to RG conformation of PTH1R with greater selectivity that results in more transient cell signalling responses. |
