Abstract

Described herein are compounds, compositions, and methods useful for treating bone diseases or defects. Also described herein are compounds, compositions and methods for treating bone diseases or defects by inhibiting phosphatase complexes.

Claims (5)

1. A method for treating a disease resulting from integrated stress response-induced apoptosis in a population of cells, the method comprising the step of administering to a patient in need of relief a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of eIF2α dephosphorylation, where the therapeutically effective amount is capable of decreasing the apoptosis;

wherein the apoptosis is endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis; and,

wherein the disease is a bone disease, injury, or defect, or a combination thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the apoptosis is endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis resulting in upregulation of one or more phosphorylases in the population of cells.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the cell population comprises an osteoblast.
