Abstract: Bisphosphonate conjugates capable of releasing antibacterial and/or cytotoxic components upon binding with bone tissue. Such conjugates are useful in the treatment and prevention of bone cancer, bone infections and other bone-related diseases. Bisphosphonate conjugates are also delivery vehicles for use in delivering pharmaceutical compositions to bone tissue. Methods of synthesizing novel bisphosphonates and pharmaceutical compositions incorporating the same, and medical uses for such compositions, are provided. Compositions of the present invention include bone-seeking radio isotope conjugates for use in imaging and therapy.
