Comparative effects of an antiviral drug, inosiplex, and diphosphonates in Paget's disease of bone. 1985

J A Kanis, and C J Preston, and D J Beard, and M Beneton, and S Harris, and R G Russell

The effects of the antiviral agent, inosiplex, were assessed in four patients with Paget's disease of bone. Treatment for 6 months did not suppress disease activity as judged by serum alkaline phosphatase and hydroxyprolinuria, and viral inclusions persisted in the one patient from whom a bone biopsy was taken. These results contrasted markedly with the suppressive effects of diphosphonate treatment in these same patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007181 Inclusion Bodies, Viral An area showing altered staining behavior in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesized; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, Negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies.

D007288 Inosine A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D007542 Inosine Pranobex An alkylamino-alcohol complex of inosine used in the treatment of a variety of viral infections. Unlike other antiviral agents, it acts by modifying or stimulating cell-mediated immune processes rather than acting on the virus directly. Inosiplex,Methisoprinol,Imunovir,Isoprinosin,Isoprinosine,Methysoprinol,Metisoprinol,NPT-10381,NPT 10381,NPT10381,Pranobex, Inosine
D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
