The present invention pertains to cannabinoid (CB) receptor inverse agonists and neutral antagonists, and especially CB1 and CB2 inverse agonists and neutral antagonists; such as, for example, certain pyrazole compounds; their use in the inhibition of osteoclasts (for example, the inhibition of the survival, formation, and/or activity of osteoclasts), and/or in the inhibition of bone resorption; their use in connection with treatment of bone disorders, such as conditions mediated by osteoclasts (e.g., increased osteoclast activity) and/or characterised by (e.g., increased) bone resorption, such as osteoporosis (e.g., osteoporosis not associated with inflammation; e.g., osteoporosis associated with a genetic predisposition, sex hormone deficiency, or ageing), cancer associated bone disease, and Paget's disease of bone.
本发明涉及大麻素(CB)受体的反向激动剂和中性拮抗剂,尤其是CB1和CB2的反向激动剂和中性拮抗剂,例如某些吡唑化合物;它们用于抑制破骨细胞(例如抑制破骨细胞的存活、形成和/或活动),和/或抑制骨吸收;它们用于治疗骨疾病,例如由破骨细胞介导的疾病(例如破骨细胞活性增加)和/或以(例如增加的)骨吸收为特征的疾病,例如骨质疏松症(例如与炎症无关的骨质疏松症;例如与遗传倾向、性激素缺乏或衰老有关的骨质疏松症)、癌症相关骨疾病和Paget骨病。
