Risedronate sodium (RS) is a potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate which is known to induce osteoclast apoptosis. As a drug repurposing approach, the current work explored the potential of nebulizable RS-chitosan (CS) microspheres to induce alveolar macrophage apoptosis. RS-CS microspheres were assessed for lung deposition, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake percentage in Calu-3 cells. The potential of nebulizable microspheres for treating elastase-induced emphysema in rats was investigated, compared to RS marketed oral tablets®, wi
