Abstract

We previously characterized the l-Ser analog #290, H(tBut)-l-Ser-O- Methyl·HCl, as a novel inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis which functions in both mouse and human cells. Here, we assessed the activity of #290 in animal models of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment of animals with #290 both prevented bone loss and led to the recovery of lost bone in osteoporotic mice. When inflammatory arthritis was induced in SKG mice, #290 treatment suppressed arthritis scores and significantly prevented the destruction of calcaneous bones. Additionally, #290 reciprocally modulated the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in osteoclasts and osteoblasts in vitro, suggesting a dual effect on bone homeostasis. Our results demonstrate that #290 is a potential novel therapeutic tool for the treatment and/or study of diseases associated with bone destruction.
