Download or read book Prodrugs Design written by Rafik Karaman and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prodrug approach is a promising and well established strategy for the development of new entities that possess superior efficacy, selectivity and reduced toxicity. Hence an optimised therapeutic outcome can be accomplished using this approach. Prodrug design is becoming more elaborate in the development of efficient and selective drug delivery systems. The targeted prodrug approach, in combination with gene delivery and controlled expression of enzymes and carrier proteins, is a promising strategy for precise and efficient drug delivery and enhancement of the therapeutic effect. This book describes in details all prodrug approaches and examples of prodrugs that succeeded to enter the market. There are two major prodrug design approaches that are considered as widely used among all other approaches: the targeted drug design approach by which prodrugs can be designed to target specific enzymes or carriers by considering enzyme-substrate specificity or carrier-substrate specificity in order to overcome various undesirable drug properties. Examples for such approach is the antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT), gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT), virus-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (VDEPT) and GDEPT. In addition, this book describes in details a novel prodrug chemical approach which is based on intramolecular reactions that were utilised to understand how enzymes exert their high catalysis. The information gained from the experimental and theoretical calculations on these enzyme models was used to design efficient chemical moieties to be utilised as prodrug linkers with the potential to release the corresponding parent drugs in a slow or fast release manner. Several prodrugs for commonly used drugs suffer from low bioavailability or/and bitter sensation were designed using quantum mechanics methods (DFT and ab initio) and recently a large number among these prodrugs were synthesised. Examples of such prodrugs are presented in the different chapters of the book.

Download or read book Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism written by Bernard Testa and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-08 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many drugs and other xenobiotics (e.g., preservatives, insecticides, and plastifiers) contain hydrolyzable moieties such as ester or amide groups. In biological media, such foreign compounds are, therefore, important substrates for hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by hydrolases or proceeding non-enzymatically. Despite their significance, until now, no book has been dedicated to hydrolysis and hydrolases in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. This work fills a gap in the literature and reviews metabolic reactions of hydrolysis and hydarion from the point of views of enzymes, substrates, and reactions.

Download or read book Drug like Properties Concepts Structure Design and Methods written by Li Di and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the thousands of novel compounds that a drug discovery project team invents and that bind to the therapeutic target, typically only a fraction of these have sufficient ADME/Tox properties to become a drug product. Understanding ADME/Tox is critical for all drug researchers, owing to its increasing importance in advancing high quality candidates to clinical studies and the processes of drug discovery. If the properties are weak, the candidate will have a high risk of failure or be less desirable as a drug product. This book is a tool and resource for scientists engaged in, or preparing for, the selection and optimization process. The authors describe how properties affect in vivo pharmacological activity and impact in vitro assays. Individual drug-like properties are discussed from a practical point of view, such as solubility, permeability and metabolic stability, with regard to fundamental understanding, applications of property data in drug discovery and examples of structural modifications that have achieved improved property performance. The authors also review various methods for the screening (high throughput), diagnosis (medium throughput) and in-depth (low throughput) analysis of drug properties. - Serves as an essential working handbook aimed at scientists and students in medicinal chemistry - Provides practical, step-by-step guidance on property fundamentals, effects, structure-property relationships, and structure modification strategies - Discusses improvements in pharmacokinetics from a practical chemist's standpoint
