Figure 1 Mevalonate pathway. N-aminobisphosphonates, including zoledronate, inhibit the mevalonate pathway by blocking farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase. This results in intracellular accumulation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and its metabolites, which are recognized by Vδ2 T cells. APC: Antigen-presenting cell; FFPS: Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase; HMG-CoA: 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A; HMGCR: 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase; IPP: Isopentenyl pyrophosphate.
