Enhanced Cancer Cell Growth Inhibition by Dipeptide Prodrugs of Floxuridine: Increased Transporter Affinity and Metabolic Stability
Dipeptide monoester prodrugs of floxuridine were synthesized, and their chemical stability in buffers, resistance to glycosidic bond metabolism, affinity for PEPT1, enzymatic activation and permeability in cancer cells were determined and compared to those of mono amino acid monoester floxuridine prodrugs. Prodrugs containing glycyl moieties were the least stable in pH 7.4 buffer ( t 1/2 < 100 ...
متن کاملTargeted delivery to PEPT1-overexpressing cells: acidic, basic, and secondary floxuridine amino acid ester prodrugs.
Floxuridine is a clinically proven anticancer agent in the treatment of metastatic colon carcinomas and hepatic metastases. However, prodrug strategies may be necessary to improve its physiochemical properties and selectivity and to reduce undesirable toxicity effects. Previous studies with amino acid ester prodrugs of nucleoside drugs targeted to the PEPT1 transporter coupled with recent findi...
متن کاملEnhanced absorption and growth inhibition with amino acid monoester prodrugs of floxuridine by targeting hPEPT1 transporters.
A series of amino acid monoester prodrugs of floxuridine was synthesized and evaluated for the improvement of oral bioavailability and the feasibility of target drug delivery via oligopeptide transporters. All floxuridine 5'-amino acid monoester prodrugs exhibited PEPT1 affinity, with inhibition coefficients of Gly-Sar uptake (IC50) ranging from 0.7 - 2.3 mM in Caco-2 and 2.0 - 4.8 mM in AsPC-1...
متن کاملAbsorption of ester prodrugs in Caco-2 and rat intestine models.
The aim of this study was to elucidate the absorption mechanism in Caco-2 and rat intestine models in order to improve the accuracy of prediction of oral absorption of ester prodrugs. Pivampicillin and cefcapene pivoxil hydrochloride (CFPN-PI), ester-type oral antibiotics, were chosen as model ester prodrugs. The level of esterase activity in Caco-2 cells was lower than that measured in the rat...
متن کاملAmino acid ester prodrugs of 2-bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole enhance metabolic stability in vitro and in vivo.
2-Bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole (BDCRB) is a potent and selective inhibitor of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), but it lacks clinical utility due to rapid in vivo metabolism. We hypothesized that amino acid ester prodrugs of BDCRB may enhance both in vitro potency and systemic exposure of BDCRB through evasion of BDCRB-metabolizing enzymes. To this end, eight different a...
