J. Sallis et al., CHEMICALLY-MODIFIED PHOSPHOCITRATE AND ENTRAPMENT IN MICROPARTICLES FOR SUSTAINED INHIBITION OF BIOMINERALIZATION, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 76(1-4), 1993, pp. 541-544
Synthesis of glycolamide esters of phosphocitrate is described. Incorp
oration of salts or modified forms of phosphocitrate into albumin/poly
lactide based microspheres markedly improves efficiency in delivery. S
trong inhibition of hydroxyapatite deposition into rat skin plaques wa
s observed.
