http://linked.open...gbank/description
| - Denosumab is a novel, fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody specific to receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), suppresses bone resorption markers in patients with a variety of metastatic tumors and is being investigated in multiple clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of bone metastases. Chemically, it consists of 2 heavy and 2 light chains. Each light chain consists of 215 amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of 448 amino acids with 4 intramolecular disulfides. FDA approved on June 1, 2010. (en)

http://linked.open...ugbank/indication
| - Prolia is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. It reduces the incidence of vertebral, nonvertebral, and hip fractures. Prolia is also indicated as a treatment to increase bone mass in women at high risk for fracture receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer. It can also be used in men with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture or in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer to increase bone mass. Xgeva is indicated for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. (en)

http://linked.open...mechanismOfAction
| - Denosumab is designed to target RANKL (RANK ligand), a protein that acts as the primary signal to promote bone removal/resorption. In many bone loss conditions, RANKL overwhelms the body's natural defense against bone destruction. Denosumab prevents RANKL from activating its receptor, RANK, on the surface of osteoclasts and their precursors. Prevention of the RANKL/RANK interaction inhibits osteoclast formation, function, and survival, thereby decreasing bone resorption and increasing bone mass and strength in both cortical and trabecular bone.

http://linked.open...drugbank/toxicity
| - In patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the most common adverse reactions (> 5% and more common than placebo) were: back pain, pain in extremity, hypercholesterolemia, musculoskeletal pain, and cystitis. Pancreatitis has been reported in clinical trials. In male patients with osteoporosis, the most common adverse reactions (> 5% and more common than placebo) were: back pain, arthralgia, and nasopharyngitis. In patients experiencing bone loss due to hormone ablation for cancer, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 10% and more common than placebo) were: arthralgia and back pain. Pain in extremity and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported in clinical trials (en)

http://linked.open...ugbank/absorption
| - When 60 mg of denosumab was subcutaneously administered to healthy subjects after fasting for 12 hours, the pharmacokinetic parameters are as follows: Cmax = 6.75 mcg/mL; Tmax= 10 days (range of 3 to 21 days); AUC (0-16 weeks) = 316 mcg•day/mL. Denosumab does not accumulate following multiple doses once every 6 months. The pharmacokinetics of denosumab were not affected by the formation of antibodies. (en)
