The preparation of acyl adenosine 5'-triphosphates as potential membrane pe
rmeable prodrugs is presented. The interaction of myristoyl- and cholestery
loxy-carbonyl-ATP with liposomes as model membranes and the release of ATP
inside these vesicles was investigated using an enzymatic assay as well as
P-31-NMR spectroscopy.
