Water-soluble strontium salts for use in treatment of cartilage and/or bone conditions

摘要

Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cartilage and/or bone conditions and for methods of treating such conditions. The compounds are salts of strontium that have a water-solubility of from about 1 g/I to about 100 g/l at room temperature, especially amino acid salts of strontium or dicarboxylic acid salts of strontium. Examples of novel water-soluble strontium salts are e.g. strontium glutamate and strontium alpha-ketoglutarate.
