Abstract: To develop a methodology for delivering anabolic agents statins to bone, a bone targeting bisphosphonate was used as a carrier of drugs. Four statin-bisphosphonate conjugates were synthesized and examined for their bone mineral affinity in vitro by hydroxyapatite absorption method. The conjugates showed high binding activity with HAP, implying the modified statins possess the potential of bone targeting property.
