We synthesized 11 kinds of prodrug with an esterified carboxylic acid moiety of atorvastatin in moderate to high yields. We discovered that they underwent metabolic activation specifically by the human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) isozyme. The results suggested that these ester compounds of atorvastatin have the potential to act as prodrugs in vivo.
我们以中等至高收率合成了11种具有阿托伐他汀酯化羧酸部分的前药。我们发现,它们通过人类羧酸酯酶1(CES1)同工酶特别地经历了代谢激活。结果表明,阿托伐他汀的这些酯化合物具有在体内充当前药的潜力。
