To find novel nano-materials with anti-osteoporosis activity and without side effects three novel anti-osteoporosis active amphiphiles, 17β-(RGD-AA-amido)-11α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-diene-3-one (5a: AA = Ser, 5b: AA = Val, 5c: AA = Phe), were constructed by coupling the bone resorption inhibiting active RGD-peptides and anti-osteoporosis active 17β-amino- 11α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-diene-3-one. In the solid state 5a, 5b and 5c exist as dispersed globes of 300 nm-14 μm in diameter, dispersed eggs of 110 nm-19 μm in diameter and beads of 238 nm-22 μm in diameter, respectively. In ultrapure water 1.1 μM of 5a, 5b and 5c form nano-globes of 33-400 nm, 16-278 nm and 54-187 nm in diameter, respectively. At an oral dose of 110 nmol kg -15a-c effectively inhibited mice from developing osteoporosis. In contrast to estradiol, 5a-c did not induce mice to develop endometrial hyperplasia and thrombus.

Three novel three-component conjugates of a succinyl spacer, a pharmacophore of 17β-amino-11α-hydroxyl-androst-1,4-diene-3-one, and a targeting sequence of RGD-tetrapeptide (peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-AA) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. This paper presents evidence that inserting a succinyl functional group into the pharmacophore and the targeting sequence improves the oral anti-osteoporosis activities in mouse glucocorticoid model of secondary osteoporosis, which were reflected by dry weight, ash weight, Ca 2+ and bone mineral content of the femur of examined mice. These novel conjugates have no side effects on estrogen, and form nano-globes with a porous surface. This paper emphasizes that the hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group of the succinyl group and the carboxylic group of the C-terminal amino acid residue of RGD-tetrapeptides is the key to forming pores on the surface of the nano-globes of these novel conjugates.
