The effects of 3,9-bis(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy)-5H-benzofuro[3,2-c]quinoli ne-6-one (KCA-098), a derivative of coumestrol, on bone resorption was studied in organ cultures of 20-day fetal rat femora. KCA-098 increased the length, dry weight, and calcium and phosphorus contents of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-treated fetal rat femur. As PTH significantly reduced the calcium and phosphorus contents of the femora, probably by stimulating bone resorption, KCA-098 seems to inhibit bone resorption. In fact, KCA-098 inhibited the PTH-induced release of 45Ca from pre-labeled fetal rat femora into the medium in organ culture. Coumestrol also inhibited the release of 45Ca from bone into the medium. However, KCA-098 did not increase the uterine weight of ovariectomized rats, whereas coumestrol did so. Thus KCA-098 is a unique, new inhibitor of bone resorption that has no estrogenic activity.
