  • Methods for Bone Treatment by Modulating an Arachidonic Acid Metabolic or Signaling Pathway
    Publication number: 20110124717
    Abstract: Methods for promoting osteogenesis to accelerate or enhance bone fracture healing, treat bone defects, and enhance bone formation are disclosed. The methods modulate an arachidonic acid metabolic or signaling pathway in general, and, in particular, utilize 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors. These molecules can be delivered alone or in combination with one or more agents that inhibit bone resorption, regulate calcium resorption from bone, enhance bone accumulation, enhance bone formation, induce bone formation, impair growth of microorganisms, reduce inflammation, and/or reduce pain.

  • Novel Methods for Bone Treatment by Modulating an Arachidonic Acid Metabolic or Signaling Pathway
    Publication number: 20110105959
    Abstract: Methods for promoting osteogenesis to accelerate or enhance bone fracture healing, treat bone defects, and enhance bone formation are disclosed. The methods rely on in vivo or ex vivo modulation of an arachidonic acid metabolic or signaling pathway in general, and, in particular, utilize 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitors, and/or leukotriene B4 receptor antagonists. These molecules can be delivered alone or in combination with one or more agents that inhibit bone resorption, regulate calcium resorption from bone, enhance bone accumulation, enhance bone formation, induce bone formation, impair growth of microorganisms, reduce inflammation, and/or reduce pain.
