FIGURE 18.4 Icariin flavonoids act upon preosteoblast and inhibit the regulation of different markers related to osteoblast and osteoclast activity.

Icariin induces the terminal differential marker ALP and Col I and mineralization of osteoblast, which nally helps in bone remodeling (Ma et al., 2014). In vivo rat model (glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis) showed increase in bone mass with icariin (125
mg/kg daily for 12 weeks) as compared to the established drug alendronate, where ALP was signicantly increased and the antiapoptotic effect of icariin also observed in
osteocytes (Feng et al., 2013). It also shows an inhibitory effect on osteoclast by p38, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) NF-kB, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway at 10

M dosage in 8-month-old Institute of Cancer Research mice
(Hsieh et al., 2011).
Another important isoavonoid ikarisoside A from E. koreanum showed antioxidant and anti-inammatory properties in LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophage
precursor cells and in RAW 264.7 cells. Ikarisoside made better osteointegration in the trabecular and cortical bone in the OVX mouse model. It suppressed osteoclast differ­entiation and resorption through RANKL-induced TRAF6-MAPK-p38-NFATc1 cascade (Chen et al., 2023). It attenuated osteoclast differentiation by suppressing the p38-MAPK pathway without affecting JNK and ERK signaling. In the RANKL family, it suppressed NFATc1 (transcription factor) in mRNA and protein levels, which is denoted as the main transcription factor for osteoclast differentiation (Figure 18.5).

This family comprises soybean, scientifically known as Glycine max L, and mainly contains daidzein, biochanin A, and genistein supplemental proteins, which are ef fective in mineral depletion on bone mass. The predominant amount of phytoestrogen in soybean is involved in bone metabolism. Histological findings (in vivo) suggested that the BMD, BV, osteogenic markers in serum, and bone formation-related molecules increase by the effect of phytoestrogens in postmenopausal women (Baek et al., 2023). The mixture of Cervus elaphus sibiricus and Glycine max L. application in the OVX mouse model resulted in the downregulation of TRAP activity in the femur along with Ca and osteocalcin (OC). These will trigger the regulation of BMP and MAPK pathways (Baek et al., 2023).
The application of another isoavonoid called genistein from soy plant (Fukutake
et al., 1996) resulted in the modulation of B-lymphopoiesis and inhibited bone degradation
(Zhai et al., 2017). The antiosteoporotic property of the avonoid comes from enzymatic
inhibition of protein kinase and activation of the ES type I receptor, which makes it more effective against osteoporosis than other avonoids. The fruit of Psoralea corylifolia plant is used for the treatment of bone fracture, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis-like disorders (Weng et al., 2015).

Plants belonging to the palm family (Arecaceae) are mostly used as a good source of oil in Asian countries. The most abundant species of this family , that is, Elaeis guineensis is rich in vitamin E and possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. V itamin E (tocopherol) is used as an antiosteoporotic agent and helps in changing the BMD, and remodeling of bone markers in a high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome animal model (Mao et al., 2021).

Chine herbs, Salvia miltiorrhiza (SME), secret group of compounds called tanshiones (tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, 16-dihydrotanshinone I, crypto tanshinone), and phenolics (salvianolic acid A, protocatechuic aldehyde, and salvianolic acid B) helps in reduction of BMD and TRAP activity, responsible for reduced oxidative stress include malondialdehyde and nitric oxide production in rodents (Liu et al., 2017). It has been reported that these reduced tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) helps in positive osteoclast formation in in vitro model via c-fos and NFATc1 expression by RANKL pathway (Figure 18.6) (Lee et al., 2020).

ACN are water-soluble flavonoids found abundantly in various vegetables and fruits. ACN contain various groups of pigments such as glucosides and galactosidase of cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, petunidin, pelargonidin, and malvidin, which are responsible for the final color of the berries (Millar et al., 2017). Here are the functions of different pigments of ACN group as mentioned in Table 18.2 related to the treatment of osteopo­rosis (Mohamad et al., 2018).

There are three major pathways involved through which ACN can act as therapeutics for
osteoporosis including the BMP2 pathway, Wingless-type MMTV integration site family-β catenin pathway, and broblast growth factor (FGF) pathway. In the BMP2 pathway, it
targets Runx2 downstream and promotes osteoblast differentiation by overexpression of ALP, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin (OPN) genes (Figure 18.7). Simultaneously, delphin­idin-3-rutinoside (D3R) and cyanidin-3-glucoside follow FGF pathway.
Stem cells directed by the transcription factors Sox9, Runx2, and Osterix to deviate to osteoprogenitor cells are regulated by ACNs leading top regulation of the osteogenesis as denoted by the gene expression of type 1 collagen (Col1), OPN, OC, and ALP (Salhotra et al., 2020).

Its chemical formula is 2-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl) chromenylium-3,5,7-triol and is profoundly seen in berries. It prevents bone loss by suppressing the NF-kB pathway and helps in nodule formation and mineralization by upregulating the osteogenic markers.

It also inhibits the osteoclast differentiation observed in RANKL-induced osteoporosis as well as the OVX mouse model. A derivative of delphinidin called D3R-treated MC3T3-E1 cells become protective from oxidative damage and generate osteoblastic differentiation by
PI3K/AKT pathway (Nagaoka et al., 2019).

In vitro experimental results reveal the cellular proliferation of bone marrow macro-
phage (BMM) in the presence of (5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine) BrdU incorporation assay,
where the cells of 3 × 105 cells/cm2 were cultured in medium and incubated with different concentrations of BrdU for 4 h, and the incorporation of pigments were detected by ELISA, and after TRAP staining, the osteoclastogenic activity was also checked and followed by
qPCR analyses of Nfatc1 and CtsK mRNA expression. Results showed that (5-bromo-2′­deoxyuridine) BrdU of concentration of 37 µg/ml becomes toxic for BMM cells, so they used 12.3 µl/ml for osteoclastogenesis assay (Słupski et al., 2021).

Cyanidin chloride (CC) and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) are majorly used to regu­late bone formation. The CC helps in the inhibition of osteoclast formation as well as hydroxyapatite resorption by RANKL-induced signaling pathways, whereas in the OVX
mouse model, it activates NF-kB by degradation of IκB-α, simultaneously accelerating

the phosphorylation of ERK. It also induces Ca2+ oscillation and activation of T cells calcineurin-dependent 1 (NFATc1) in the RANKL signaling pathway. However, the high
dose of CC only accelerates this activity (>10 µg/ml), and surprisingly, the low dosage (<1 µg/ml) of it shows the opposite activity (Cheng et al., 2018).
C3G is involved in bone nodule formation via ERK1/2 pathway. C3G with 5%(w/w)
treatment helps in the improvement of tibia, vertebral, and femoral BMD values, and reduces the osteoclastic differentiation markers, that is, cathepsin K, osteoclast-associated receptor, transmembrane 7 superfamily member and ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal
38 kda, V0 subunit d2 (Atp6v0d2), and signicantly inhibits the nuclear translocation of
c-Fos and NFATc1(Park et al., 2015). Therefore, the application of C3G can be a good therapeutics for bone loss.

18.1.5 OTHER HERBAL SOURCES

Some other herbs also found to have medicinal effects in osteoporosis are as follows.

It probably contains estrogen-like compounds that protect bones; therefore, some medical doctors prescribe this as a supplement for the treatment also. However, there is no scientific evidence found till today which shows that it can slow down the bone loss. It contains certain phytoestrogens (i.e., isoflavones: formononetin, biochanin A, genistein, and daidzein) that probably bind to estrogen receptors and act as weak agonist, antagonist, or partial agonist, which activate the isoflavones and remove the glucose residue by certain bacterial enzymes; therefore, it can be said that the bioavailability of phytoestrogens activity is dependent on bacterial flora of individual, thus it affects the activity of RC toward bone formation. The study reveals that in the OVX rat model RC secretes both formononetin and biochanin A, which contributes to the bone formation process by stimulating the differentiation of osteoblasts (Kaczmarczyk-Sedlak et al., 2013).

The Latin word “equus” means horse and “seta” means bristle together name Equisetum as the scientific name of it. It contains silica, which helps strengthen the bones. Therefore, some practitioners recommend horsetail as a treatment for osteoporosis. It is an abundant source of silica and helps in the absorption of Ca2+ and in the formation of collagen (Badole and Kotwal, 2014). The presence of alkaloids, phytosterols, tannins, triterpenoids, and phenolics in it also helps in preventing bone loss. Equisetum arvense have the secondary metabolites in the form of quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, apigenin, oleanolic acid, betulinic acid, and ursolic acid, having the catabolic activity upon osteoblasts which form the connective tissue by the deposition of Ca2+ and other minerals help in decrease of osteoclast and stimulate the

The process of building bone and maintaining bone strength relatively depends upon the uptake of calcium-rich food including several dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, milk, and fermented milk products. These contain several building blocks of bone health including protein, magnesium, phosphorous, and vitamin B
(Muñoz-Garach et al.,
12
2020). Other than these, nut-based milk, orange juice, cereals, tofu, salmon, and fish with bones, like sardines, and plant-based food including kale, cabbage, and other leafy green vegetables contain calcium. Simultaneously, vitamin D is needed for the absorption of Ca2+ mainly derived from sun exposure. Other than that, food sources of vitamin D include fatty fish (such as trout, salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils, beef liver, egg yolks, fortified milk, other fortified foods (milk alternatives, breakfast cereals, juice), and mushrooms (Lips and Schoor, 2011).

18.1.6 NATURAL PLANT-BASED ALKALOIDS

Plant-based natural alkaloids such as polycyclic, nitrogen-containing, and basic compounds possess medicinal effects for osteoporosis treatment because of their chemical structures. These are mainly classified into six main categories according to their chemical structures, that is, isoquinoline alkaloids, quinolizidine alkaloids, piperidine alkaloids, indole alkaloids, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and steroidal alkaloids. These are the groups of alkaloids which influence mesenchymal stem cells differentiation, improve osteoblast proliferation, stimulate osteoblast autophagy , and suppress osteoclast formation for the osteoporosis treatment, which
follows several important signaling pathways, including TNF-α receptor-associated NF-kB
signaling, activation of p38 MAPK pathway in osteoblasts, and triggering the wingless and int-1 pathway in mesenchymal stem cells. The details of natural alkaloids are mentioned in T able 18.3.

18.1.7 ESSENTIAL MARKERS INVOLVED IN BONE FORMATION AND RESORPTION FOR OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENT

To produce active osteoblast, serum-derived ALP, bone-specific ALP, OC, and byproducts of collagen neo synthesis (procollagen type I propeptides) are mainly involved. Serum­derived ALP is membrane-bound enzyme usually presents in the liver, bone, and placenta at the outer cellular surface, which plays an important role in the osteoid formation and mineralization (Harris, 1990). In contrast, the bone-specific ALP derives by several methods such as electrophoresis, precipitation, heat denaturation, selective inhibition, and

immunoassays from plant sources, having an important role in osteoblast production too (Hill and Wolfert, 1990). OC is abundantly found in bone matrix mainly as anon–collagen protein. It is released by osteoblast in the extracellular matrix into the blood circulation during bone anabolic activities, and therefore considered as an important marker of the production of osteoblastic activity (Brown, 1984). Procollagen type I propeptide is a profuse form of collagen present in bone. The amino (N-)terminal propeptide (PINP) and the carboxy (C-)terminal propeptide (PICP) are attached to precursor molecules of collagen-I (procollagen type I) which are enzymatically cleaved by specific proteases during the formation of collagen-I in bone matrix. As the production of both PINP and PICP is associated with collagen-I synthesis, their detection as markers is important for osteoblast production and bone formation (Bauer et al., 2012).
The bone resorption-related markers are a product of collagen, that is, hydroxyproline or the various collagen cross-links and telopeptides. Other than these, receptor activators such as RANKL, OPG, TRAP, and cathepsin K release during bone resorption. TRAP
serves as a nonspecic marker of bone-resorption activity. RANKL produced by osteoblasts
binds to the RANK on the surface of osteoclast precursor cells, resulting in the activation of MAPKs, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), and NF ATc1 signaling pathway . Therefore, RANKL is involved in the osteoclast dif ferentiation (Khosla, 2001). The protease enzyme cathepsin K found in osteoclasts is a striking target for osteoclastic activity. It releases impaired matrix digestion enzymes in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
The recent clinical approaches for osteoporosis by using natural supplements create an emphasis upon these molecular markers mentioned and summarized. The study of the natural alkaloids and supplements has been carried out along with a detailed mechanism
of action based upon these marker-specic signaling pathways and it is still continuing for
the development of therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. However, detailed research on traditional and natural medicine is needed to explore more to achieve the uniformity in the treatment of osteoporosis. The clinical practice using natural supplements has been chosen as the better treatment approach for future because of lesser side effects, eco­friendly production, lesser production cost, and higher intensity of improvement of patient
condition. As modern pharmaceuticals aim at quick and specic responses, most of the
biomolecules and established therapies for osteoporosis have several side effects causing high risk to the patient. Therefore, herbal supplement applications for the treatment of osteoporosis will give a better prospect of treatment which can be the best possible way to treat the disease in the near future.

18.2 CONCLUSION

In a scenario of treatment lines for osteoporosis, nowadays increase in medical visits, hospitalizations, and nursing home medication give a huge financial burden to our economy, therefore screening of these diseases and treatment aspects could be applied by the implementation of natural product-based therapies to the mass population worldwide. These natural product-based supplemental products will give the most cost-effective
