pharmacology:Â
Abaloparatide activates the parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 and triggers anabolic responses in osteoblasts by stimulating the Gs-protein mediated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway. This activation initiates phospholipase C and phosphokinase A promoting increased osteoblast activity. Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Abaloparatide alters bone remodeling balance that leading to enhanced bone formation at periosteal, trabecular, and endocortical surfaces. Â
Binding to the R0 conformation results in a prolonged signaling response with a gradual increase in cAMP levels but increases the risk of hypercalcemia due to elevated osteoclast activity. It’s binding capacity to the RG conformation was assessed through radioligand competition methods indicating its anabolic effects.Â
pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
In healthy women administering 80 mcg of the drug results in an absolute bioavailability of 36%.Â
DistributionÂ
It has a distribution volume of approximately 50 L and approximately 70% plasma protein binding.Â
Metabolism:Â
Its peptide fragments are primarily excreted in the kidneys after nonspecific proteolytic degradation.Â
Excretion:Â
The half-life is approximately 1 hour it is primarily eliminated through renal excretion. However, close monitoring is necessary for adverse reactions in severe cases.Â
The recommended adult dosage for managing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women is 80 mcg subcutaneously once daily. If dietary intake is insufficient then calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented. This drug reduces the vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis that is characterized by a history of osteoporotic fracture, multiple fracture risk factors, and inability to tolerate other treatments.Â
Patient information leafletÂ
Generic Name: abaloparatideÂ
Why do we use abaloparatide?Â
Abaloparatide is a synthetic peptide analog of PTHrP which is used to manage osteoporosis characterized by reduced bone mineral density and altered bone structure by increasing fracture risk. FDA approved its use in postmenopausal women and men with similar risk and for those who cannot tolerate or have proven ineffective treatments for alternative osteoporosis treatments.Â
