With the aim of exploring the effect of tricyclic-based FBPase inhibitors in cells and in vivo, a series of prodrugs of tricyclic phosphonates was designed and synthesized. Introducing prodrug moieties into tricyclic-based phosphonates led to the discovery of prodrug 15c, which strongly inhibited glucose production in monkey hepatocytes. Furthermore, prodrug 15c lowered blood glucose levels in fasted cynomolgus monkeys. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
