[Effects of strontium ranelate on mononuclear leukocyte culture]

Strontium ranelate (SR) effect on the functional parameters of human blood mononuclear leukocytes culture has been investigated. SR in concentrations of 2.9, 29, and 290 mg/ml produces a dose-dependent decrease in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the content of calcium and potassium ions in supernatants. In concentrations of 2.9 and 29 mg/ml, SR decreases, while in a concentration of 290 mg/ml it increases the intercellular phosphate ion content. Fibroblast- and osteoblast-like cells, which are capable of regulating mineral compound of intercellular liquid, are SR cellular targets in human blood mononuclear leukocytes culture.
