摘要

Statins, recognized for their lipid-lowering capabilities, have demonstrated osteoanabolic and anti-resorptive effects on bone metabolism. The effects encompass the overexpression of bone morphogenetic proteins, heightened osteoblast activity, and the control of inflammation. Nevertheless, conventional systemic administration of statins has difficulties, including restricted bone bioavailability and possible adverse effects. Recent improvements in targeted and localized drug delivery are revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape for statins in bone applications. This review consolidates existing knowledge regarding the molecular processes by which statins influence bone metabolism and describes novel drug delivery methods such as nano-carriers, biomaterial scaffolds, and controlled-release systems. It seeks to address current knowledge deficiencies and offer insights into how enhanced bioavailability and specificity can optimize the efficiency of statins in bone regeneration. The review integrates molecular insights with novel pharmacological strategies to inform future research and clinical applications, pinpointing critical areas for exploration, such as optimal dose, delivery safety, and clinical efficacy.
