Bisphosphonates are currently used in metabolic disorder of bone however, there have been few studies that reviewed the role of anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory effect of this agent in in-vivo. Bisphosphonates were divided in two classes regarding the structure and mechanism, including amino and non-amino bisphosphonates. The effect of bisphosphonates on cytokine related to in-vitro was complex and related to type and dose of bisphosphonates, examination of cell type and cell culture evaluation system. However, amino bisphosphonates activated inflammatory cytokine regarding to in-vivo and chronic usage of this agent, can stop the production of these cytokines. Present study surveyed the anti -inflammatory and immune modulatory effect of bisphosphonates and clinical trial, along with recent knowledge about potential mechanism of this component.
