چکیده

A thiodipeptide carrier system is shown to be effective at enabling a range of covalently bound molecules, including benzyl, benzoyl and ibuprofen conjugates, to be transported via the intestinal peptide transporter PepT1, demonstrating its potential as a rational drug delivery target.

Interactions of the dipeptide ester prodrugs of acyclovir with the intestinal oligopeptide transporter: competitive inhibition of glycylsarcosine transport in human intestinal cell line-Caco-2.

The oligopeptide transporter may be exploited to enhance the absorption of drugs by synthesizing their dipeptide ester prodrugs, which may be recognized as its substrates. Various dipeptide esters of acyclovir (ACV), an antiviral nucleoside analog, were synthesized. Enzymatic hydrolysis and affinity of the prodrugs toward the human intestinal peptide transporter hPEPT1 were studied using the hu...

Targeted 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...

Synthesis of analogs of L-valacyclovir and determination of their substrate activity for the oligopeptide transporter in Caco-2 cells.

L-Valacyclovir, a prodrug of acyclovir, is a substrate for the peptide transporter (PepT1) in the intestinal mucosa, which accounts for its higher than expected oral bioavailability. The substrate activity of L-valacyclovir for PepT1 is surprising, particularly when one considers that the molecule has the structural features of a nucleoside rather than a peptide. In an attempt to better underst...

Enhanced 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...
