Abstract
PQQ and PQQ-generating compounds inhibit osteoclast cell formation and bone resorption, and those compounds can be used to treat medical conditions characterized by undesired bone resorption. PQQ-phosphonates that target osteoclasts at the bone-mineral interface are particularly useful in this regard.
