Antiparkinson prodrugs.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder which involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta. Current therapy is essentially symptomatic, and L-Dopa (LD), the direct precursor of dopamine(DA), is the treatment of choice in more advanced stages of the disease. Substitution therapy with LD is, however, associated with a number of acut...
متن کاملDendrimer Prodrugs.
The main objective of this review is to describe the importance of dendrimer prodrugs in the design of new drugs, presenting numerous applications of these nanocomposites in the pharmaceutical field. Therefore, the use of dendrimer prodrugs as carrier for drug delivery, to improve pharmacokinetic properties of prototype, to promote drug sustained-release, to increase selectivity and, consequent...
متن کاملPolymer-Based Prodrugs for Cancer Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy has achieved great success in cancer treatment during recent past decades, but it is still challenged by poor solubility, low tumor selectivity, and associated toxicity of most anticancer drugs. The prodrug strategy is one of the most commonly used chemical/biochemical strategies towards improving the therapeutic index of anticancer drugs. A prodrug is defined as a chemically modif...
متن کاملPolymeric photosensitizer prodrugs for photodynamic therapy.
A targeting strategy based on the selective enzyme-mediated activation of polymeric photosensitizer prodrugs (PPP) within pathological tissue has led to the development of agents with the dual ability to detect and treat cancer. Herein, a detailed study of a simple model system for these prodrugs is described. We prepared "first-generation" PPP by directly tethering the photosensitizer (PS) phe...
متن کاملThe oral fluorouracil prodrugs.
Discussed herein are selected oral fluorinated pyrimidines that are converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vivo to exert antitumor activity. These agents include capecitabine (Xeloda), tegafur-uracil (UFT) plus leucovorin (Orzel), and S-1 (BMS247616). These agents offer the convenience of an orally administered therapy with potentially fewer toxic effects than conventional bolus regimens of 5-FU...
