In vitro evaluation of acyloxyalkyl esters as dermal prodrugs of ketoprofen and naproxen
摘要:
A series of acyloxyalkyl esters of ketoproien and naproxen were synthesized and investigated as topical prodrugs with the aim of improving the dermal delivery of the drugs. In addition, some hydroxyalkyl esters of ketoprofen and naproxen were synthesized as possible intermediates of acyloxyalkyl prodrugs. All of the prodrugs were more lipophilic than their parent molecules, as evaluated by drug partitioning between l-octanol and phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 (log P-app). However, their solubilities in aqueous solutions decreased markedly compared with the parent molecules. The prodrugs were stable toward chemical hydrolysis in aqueous solutions (pH 7.4), but were hydrolyzed to the parent drug both in 80% human serum and in human skin homogenate, with half-lives ranging from 4 to 137 min and from 13 to 403 min, respectively. The abilities of the selected naproxen acyloxyalkyl prodrugs to deliver naproxen through excised human skin were evaluated. Generally, the prodrugs showed similar dermal delivery as the parent drug through cadaver skin. In the present series of lipophilic prodrugs of naproxen, the prodrug with the highest aqueous solubility was the most effective prodrug to deliver naproxen through the skin.

The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of NO-donating compounds using a sulfonated intermediate. The invention relates to new intermediates prepared therein suitable for large scale manufacturing of NO-donating compounds. The invention further relates to the use of the new intermediates for the manufacturing of pharmaceutically active NO-donating compounds. The invention further relates to a substantially crystalline form of NO-donating NSAIDs, especially 2-[2-(nitrooxy)ethoxy]ethyl 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl}acetate, the preparation thereof and to pharmaceutical formulations containing said crystalline form and to the use of said crystalline form in the preparation of a medicament.
