Cytotoxic Activity of Bisphosphonic Derivatives Obtained by the Michaelis–Arbuzov or the Pudovik Reaction by Zsuzsanna Szalai, Janka Bednárik, Boldizsár Szigfrid Tóth, Angéla Takács, Szilárd Tekula, László Kőhidai, Konstantin Karaghiosoff, László Drahos, György Keglevich

“…Hydroxy-containing bisphosphonates and their rearranged derivatives demonstrated varying effects depending on structural modifications. While myeloma (U266) cells indicated greater sensitivity overall, the most significant reductions in cell viability were observed in PANC-1 cancer cells, raising potential therapeutic applications of bisphosphonates beyond myeloma-associated bone disease, particularly for malignancies like pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.…”
