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 concerns novel aminoacyloxyalkyl prodrugs of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory carboxylic acids of formula R-COO-R1-O-R2 wherein R-COO- represents the acyloxy residue of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory carboxylic acid, R1 is a saturated or unsaturated, a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkylene or alkylidene group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, which can optionally be substituted, and R2 is the aminoacyl residue of a synthetic or natural amino acid, or a secondary, tertiary or quaternary aminoacyl group, as well as the nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, methods for preparing the said prodrug forms, pharmaceutical compositions containing such prodrug forms, and methods for using the prodrug forms.
