We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of Ala-(Val-)L-Ser-CO(2)R prodrugs of 1, where a dipeptide promoiety is conjugated to the P(OH) 2 group of cidofovir (1) via esterification by the Ser side chain hydroxyl group and an ethyl group (4 and 5) or alone (6 and 7). In a murine model, oral administration of 4 or 5 did not significantly increase total cidofovir species in the plasma compared to 1 or 2, but 7 resulted in a 15-fold increase in a rat model and had an in vitro EC(50) value against human cytomegalovirus comparable to 1. Neither 6 nor 7 exhibited toxicity up to 100 mu M in KB or HFF cells. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
