Abstract | {Lanthanide ions, Ln( III), are known functional mimics of Ca( II) ions and have been shown to affect the bone remodeling cycle. Exploiting this disruption to the bone remodeling cycle has potential for the treatment of bone density disorders, such as osteoporosis. In an effort to find new orally active agents for these disorders, a series of Ln( III) containing complexes incorporating small, non-toxic, bidentate pyrone and pyridinone ligands have been synthesized and characterized ( LnL(3) |
