Abstract

The present invention relates to quaternary nitrogen-containing phosphonate compounds, and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts and esters thereof and having the general structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.5 and R.sup.8 are defined in claim 1, m and n are integers from 0 to 10; m+n is from 0 to 10; PA1 Z is a saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic, monocyclic or polycyclic carbocycle or monocyclic or polycyclic heterocycle containing one or more heteroatoms selected from O, S, or N, wherein at least one heteroatom is a quaternary nitrogen atom; PA1 R is COOH; PO.sub.3 H.sub.2 ; SO.sub.3 H; or P(O)(OH)R.sub.4, wherein R.sub.4 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of 1-8 carbon atoms; The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a safe and effective amount of a compound of the present invention, and pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients. Finally, the present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing pathological conditions characterized by abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis in humans or other mammals and to methods for treating or preventing dental cal…
