Osteoporosis is a chronic disease distinguished by decreased bone density and degradation of bone microstructure, frequently linked with inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which contribute to the acceleration of bone resorption. The compound 5,7-Dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (D4M) present in Artemisia dracunculus exhibits significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Nonetheless, the potential anti-osteoporotic effects of D4M, along with the molecular targets and mechanisms responsible for these effects, have not been studied.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common type of secondary osteoporosis, marked by reduced bone density and impaired osteoblast function. Current treatments have serious side effects, highlighting the need for new drug candidates. Pyrimidine derivatives have been noted for their potential in suppressing osteoclastogenesis, but their effects on osteogenesis and GIOP remain underexplored.

Background: The increasing prevalence of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) due to long-term glucocorticoid therapy underscores the need for effective treatment options. Denosumab and bisphosphonates, both key in managing GIOP, require further comparative evaluation to determine their relative efficacy and safety profiles.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most prescribed anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs. However, their use is often limited by substantial side effects, such as GC-induced osteoporosis (GIO) with the underlying mechanisms still not fully understood. In this study, we identify Tau as a low-affinity binding receptor for GCs that plays a crucial role in GIO.
