[Inhibition of bone tissue formation by propane-2,2-diphosphonate].

Among other diphosphonates here described propane-2,2-diphosphonate displays specific effects on bone-turnover. In contrast to other diphosphonates propane-2,2-diphosphonate inhibits especially different enzymes of growing bone and therefore inhibits formation of bone. The indication for the clinical use follows from that effect: pathologic states with increased bone formation may be treated by application of propane-2,2-diphosphonate.
