A biocompatible calcium bisphosphonate coordination polymer: towards a metal-linker synergistic therapeutic effect?

Abstract

A novel, biocompatible, calcium-based coordination polymer was hydrothermally synthesized using as linker the bone antiresorptive bisphosphonate alendronate. Its structure was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Its bioactivity was finally evaluated in vitro, revealing a very high stability towards simulated body fluid.
