To clarify the inconsistent patent literature, the synthesis of Zoledronic and Risedronic acids involving a heterocyclic acetic acid (HAA), phosphorous acid (PA) and phosphorus trichloride (PC) as the reagents, and methanesulfonic acid as the solvent was studied in detail. It was found that the best synthesis can be accomplished at 80 °C using HAA and PC in a 1:3.1 molar ratio without any PA.

Microwave-assisted rapid and efficient procedure for the synthesis of bisphosphonate and their libraries is described in solvent-free medium. Bisphosphonates having nitrogen and sulfur are synthesized following this new procedure. This procedure is simple and can be useful for the generation of compound libraries of a class of bone-resorptive inhibitors such as N- and N-, S- containing bisphosphonates.

We have investigated the effects in vitro of a series of bisphosphonates on the proliferation of Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Leishmania donovani, Toxoplasma gondii, and Plasmodium falciparum. The results show that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates of the type used in bone resorption therapy have significant activity against parasites, with the aromatic species having in some cases nanomolar or low-micromolar IC50 activity values against parasite replication (e.g. o-risedronate, I50 = 220 nM for T. brucei rhodesiense; risedronate, IC50 = 490 nM for T. gondii). In T. cruzi, the nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate risedronate is shown to inhibit sterol biosynthesis at a pre-squalene level, most likely by inhibiting farnesylpyrophosphate synthase. Bisphosphonates therefore appear to have potential in treating parasitic protozoan diseases.
