Aging is associated with increased susceptibility to chronic inflammatory bone loss disorders, such as periodontitis, in large part due to the impaired regenerative potential of aging tissues. DEL-1 exerts osteogenic activity and promotes bone regeneration. However, DEL-1 expression declines with age. Here we show that systemically administered macrolide antibiotics and a non-antibiotic erythromycin derivative, EM-523, restore DEL-1 expression in 18-month-old ("aged") mice while promoting regeneration of bone lost due to naturally occurring age-related periodontitis. These compounds failed to induce bone regeneration in age-matched DEL-1-deficient mice. Consequently, these drugs promoted DEL-1-dependent functions, including alkaline phosphatase activity and osteogenic gene expression in the periodontal tissue while inhibiting osteoclastogenesis, leading to net bone growth. Macrolide-treated aged mice exhibited increased skeletal bone mass, suggesting that this treatment may be pertinent to systemic bone loss disorders. In conclusion, we identified a macrolide-DEL-1 axis that can regenerate bone lost due to aging-related disease.

The pharmacological properties of mitemcinal (GM-611), the first acid-resistant non-peptide motilin agonist, were investigated in the smooth muscle of the rabbit small intestine and compared with porcine motilin (pMTL), erythromycin A (EMA) and its derivatives (EM-523, EM-574 and ABT-229). Mitemcinal, pMTL, EMA, EM-523, EM-574 and ABT-229 produced concentration-dependent contractions with approximately the same maximum contractions in the isolated rabbit duodenum longitudinal strips. The contractile response to mitemcinal or pMTL was competitively inhibited by a selective motilin antagonist, GM-109. The pA<sub>2</sub> values for GM-109 as an antagonist of mitemcinal and pMTL showed approximately the same values. However, the concentration-dependent contractile responses to mitemcinal or pMTL were not affected by pretreatment with atropine, tetrodotoxin, hexamethonium, naloxone or tropisetron. The removal of calcium ions from the medium and pretreatment with verapamil greatly suppressed the contractions induced by mitemcinal and pMTL. The contractile response to mitemcinal was not affected by preincubation in acidic solutions, while those of EM-523, EM-574 and ABT-229 were strongly diminished in the same condition. Mitemcinal as well as other motilin agonists displaced <sup>125</sup>I-pMTL bound to a homogenate of the rabbit duodenum muscle tissue. The displacement curves of all these compounds were parallel. These results indicate that mitemcinal is a selective and full motilin receptor agonist in the smooth muscle of the rabbit small intestine and that this agent has an excellent acid-resistant property.

The effects of mitemcinal (GM-611) on the gastrointestinal contractile activity were investigated using chronically implanted force transducers in conscious dogs and were compared with the effects of porcine motilin (pMTL), EM-523 and EM-574. In the interdigestive state, intravenous and oral administration of mitemcinal, EM-523 and EM-574 induced the gastrointestinal contractile activity in a manner similar to pMTL. The contractile activity caused by mitemcinal was suppressed by continuous intravenous infusion of a motilin receptor antagonist. In the digestive state, intravenous and oral administration of mitemcinal, EM-523 and EM-574 also stimulated the gastrointestinal contractile activity. Mitemcinal, EM-523 and EM-574 given intravenously increased the gastric contractile activity in a similar dose range; however, mitemcinal was approximately 10 times more potent than EM-523 and EM-574 when administered orally in the digestive state. These results indicate that the mitemcinal-induced gastrointestinal contractile activity operates via motilin receptors and possesses a higher activity than EM-523 and EM-574 when administered orally in conscious dogs in the digestive state. Mitemcinal may therefore be useful in the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders involving dysmotility, such as gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia, even when administered orally.
