The present invention relates to novel prodrugs of pharmaceutical compounds containing one or more N—H bonds. More specifically, the present embodiment of the invention relates to prodrugs wherein sulfur-containing promoieties are attached to pharmaceutical compounds which contain one or more N—H bonds to produce prodrugs containing at least one N—S bond. These N—S bond-containing prodrugs could have optimized stability, solubility, cell membrane permeability, pharmacokinetic properties and other pharmaceutical properties over the pharmaceutical compounds from which they are formed, depending upon the nature of the promoiety. Reversion of the prodrug to the parent pharmaceutical compound occurs by the reaction of the prodrugs with thiol molecules such as cysteine, glutathione or any other thiol containing molecule. Further, the present invention relates to methods of making N—S bond-containing prodrugs of pharmaceutical compounds containing one or more N—H bonds whereby sulfur-containing promoieties are attached to the parent compounds to create at least one N—S bond.
本发明涉及一种新型药物化合物的前药,其中包含一个或多个N-H键。更具体地,本发明实施例涉及将含有一个或多个N-H键的药物化合物与含有硫的前体连接起来,以产生至少一个N-S键的前药。这些含N-S键的前药可能具有优化的稳定性、溶解度、细胞膜通透性、药代动力学性质和其他药物性质,这取决于前体的性质。前药向父药物化合物的还原通过前药与半胱氨酸、谷胱甘肽或任何其他含有巯基的分子反应而发生。此外,本发明还涉及一种制备含有一个或多个N-H键的药物化合物的N-S键前药的方法,其中将硫含量的前体连接到父化合物上,以创建至少一个N-S键。
