Example Sentences
- "Although developed as antiresorptive agents, several compounds show lysosomotropic effects, cutaneous adverse effects and anabolic activity, which are intrinsically related to the selectivity of inhibitors toward CatK. Therefore, alternative compounds having better selectivity toward CatK may complement the use of CKIs in bone resorption therapy."
Etymology
From anti- + resorptive.
