Abstract

A novel class of biphenylearboxylic acid derivatives are described that inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro by promoting osteoclast apoptosis and that prevent ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. The compounds act by a novel mechanism that seems to be distinct from existing antiresorptive drugs.
