Zusammenfassung:This invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising prostglandin agonists, specifically EP2 receptor selective agonists, which are useful to enhance bone repair and healing and restore or augment bone mass in vertebrates, particularly mammals. The EP2 receptor selective agonists of the present invention are effective in the treatment of conditions such as those in which the patient has delayed or non-union fracture, bone defect, spinal fusion, bone in-growth, cranial facial reconstruction or bone sites at risk for fracture. Esta invencion se refiere a composiciones farmaceuticas y a procedimientos que comprenden agonistas de prostaglandinas, especificamente agonistas selectivos del receptor EP2, que son utiles para potenciar la reparacion y la curacion de los huesos y para restaurar o aumentar la masa osea en vertebrados, particularmente en mamiferos. Los agonistas selectivos del receptor EP2 de la presente invencion son eficaces en el tratamiento de afecciones tales como aquellas en las que el paciente tiene una fractura de union retrasada o sin union, un defecto oseo, fusion espinal, crecimiento oseo hacia el interior, reconstruccion craneofacial o puntos oseos con riesgo de fractura.
