Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of bisphosphonic acids and pharmacologically active salts thereof, in particular 1-hydroxy-2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethylidene-1,1-diphosphine commonly known as zoledronic acid Improved industrial process for acids. The bisphosphonates described herein are suitable for use in the treatment of diseases of the skeletal system and in conditions when bone formation and / or calcium metabolism have been disturbed, eg in the treatment of bone displacements.
[0002] The bisphosphonic acids described herein have the following structures:
[0003]
[0004] In the formula, M1, M2, M3 and M4 are selected from hydrogen and monovalent cations, and R1 is selected from one of the following:
[0005] CH 3 etidronic acid
[0006] Zoledronic acid
[0007] risedronic acid
[0008] minodronic aci...
