Inhibitory Effects of N-[2-(4-acetyl-1-piperazinyl) phenyl]-2-(2-chlorophenoxy) acetamide on Osteoclast Differentiation In Vitro via the Downregulation of TRAF6.

ABSTRACT: Osteoclasts are poly-nuclear cells that resorb mineral components from old or damaged bone tissue. Primary mononuclear cells are activated by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) and differentiate into large multinucleated cells. Dysregulation of osteoclast differentiation can lead to pathological bone loss and destruction. Many studies have focused on the development of new molecules to regulate RANKL-mediated signaling. In this study, N-[2-(4-acetyl-1-piperazinyl)phenyl]-2-(2-chlorophenoxy) acetamide (PPOA-N-Ac-2-Cl) led to a significant decrease in the formation of multinucleated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells in a dose-dependent manner, without inducing significant cytotoxicity. PPOA-N-Ac-2-Cl affected the expression of osteoclast-speci
