Aminobutane bisphosphonate is a Trypanosoma cruzi farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) inhibitor with an IC50 of 30.77 μM against Trypanosoma cruzi. Aminobutane bisphosphonate inhibits proliferation of intracellular amastigote Trypanosoma cruzi and lacks activity against non-infective epimastigote forms. Aminobutane bisphosphonate reduces osteoclastic bone resorption, osteoid surface extent, and osteoclast number per mm of bone surface.Aminobutane bisphosphonate alters mineral apposition rate in intact legs, inhibits immobilization-induced bone loss, and increases trabecular bone volume in Sprague-Dawley rats. Aminobutane bisphosphonate can be used for the research of american trypanosomiasis (chagas' disease) and immobilization-related bone loss.
