Background:

Ipriflavone is a synthetic isoflavone derivative used to suppress bone resorption.
Ipriflavone inhibits the proliferation and DNA synthesis of MDA-231 cells and blocks the ligand-induced phosphorylation of Tyr(845) of the EGFR. Ipriflavone does not promote apoptosis of MDA-231 cells[1]. Ipriflavone also promotes the deposition of calcium and the formation of mineralized nodules by newborn rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells as well as the activity of alkaline phosphatase[2].
Daily oral administration of ipriflavone at 12 mg/mouse significantly inhibits the development of new osteolytic bone metastases and the progression of established osteolytic lesions, prolonging the life of tumor-bearing mice. Ipriflavone reduces the number of osteoclasts at the bone-cancer interface with no severe adverse effects on the host[1]. 1-month treatment with ipriflavone increases bone density and improves the biomechanical properties of adult rat male bones without altering mineral composition[3]
