SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF NOVEL DAUNOMYCIN-PHOSPHATE-BETA-GLUCURONIDE, DAUNOMYCIN-PHOSPHATE-BETA-GLUCOSIDE, DAUNOMYCIN-SULFATE-BETA-GLUCURONIDE AND DAUNOMYCIN-SULFATE-BETA-GLUCOSIDE PRODRUGS FOR APPLICATION IN ADEPT
Rgg. Leenders et al., SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF NOVEL DAUNOMYCIN-PHOSPHATE-BETA-GLUCURONIDE, DAUNOMYCIN-PHOSPHATE-BETA-GLUCOSIDE, DAUNOMYCIN-SULFATE-BETA-GLUCURONIDE AND DAUNOMYCIN-SULFATE-BETA-GLUCOSIDE PRODRUGS FOR APPLICATION IN ADEPT, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(24), 1995, pp. 2975-2980
The synthesis, antiproliferative effect and enzymatic hydrolysis of da
unomycin-3'-N- and -4'-O-phosphate and -sulfate derivatives and of dau
nomycin-3'-N-CO-beta-glucuronide and -beta-glucoside, designed to be p
rodrugs in ADEPT are described. The phosphate derivatives were almost
as toxic as the parent drug whereas the sulfates were not hydrolyzed b
y aryl sulfatases, Glucuronyl and glucosyl prodrugs were found to be u
seful for application in ADEPT.
