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.
公开了促进成骨作用以加速或增强骨折愈合、治疗骨缺陷和增强骨形成的方法。这些方法依赖于体内或体外调节花生四烯酸代谢或信号通路的总体,特别是利用5-脂氧合酶抑制剂、白三烯A4水解酶抑制剂和/或白三烯B4受体拮抗剂。这些分子可以单独或与一个或多个抑制骨吸收、调节从骨中钙吸收、增强骨积累、增强骨形成、诱导骨形成、抑制微生物生长、减少炎症和/或减轻疼痛的剂量联合使用。
