Small Molecules to Modulate CKD-MBD

November 08, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 370A, Convention Center

Session Description

In parallel with growing knowledge about key molecular determinants of CKD-MBD, the development of small molecule agonists and antagonists that target these molecules is required for new treatments. This session provides emerging examples of approaches being used to identify and optimize these kinds of small molecules.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Explain how salt-inducible kinases act downstream of PTH action in kidneys and bones
  • Discuss the potential for mTOR inhibitors to affect parathyroid function
  • Describe the complex effects of tubular sodium and phosphate absorption on CKD-MBD
  • Explain how structural determination can inform drug discovery

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Bones‚ Stones‚ and Mineral Metabolism
  • Pharmacology
