Procedure- Separately inject equal volumes (about 20 µL) of the Test solution and the Reagent blank into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the responses for all the peaks. Disregard any peak corresponding to those obtained from the Reagent blank. Calculate the percentage of each impurity in the portion of Alendronate Sodium taken by the formula:
100(ri / rs)
in which ri is the area of each impurity peak, and rs is the sum of all impurity peaks and the main peak: not more than 0.1% of any individual impurity is found, and not more than 0.5% of total impurities is found.

A robust inhibitor of bone resorption that induces apoptosis. Alendronate inhibits the migration and invasion of PC-3 cells (sc-2220) by interfering with the mevalonate pathway. Additionally, Alendronate, Sodium Salt is an inhibitor of CD45RC and MMP. Alendronate Sodium, an aminobisphosphonate compound, has been effectively used for the treatment of osteolysis, Paget′s disease and osteoporosis.
