Synthesis and evaluation of atorvastatin esters as prodrugs metabolically activated by human carboxylesterases
We synthesized 11 kinds of prodrug with an esterified carboxylic acid moiety of atorvastatin in moderate to high yields. We discovered that they underwent metabolicactivation specifically by the humancarboxylesterase 1 (CES1) isozyme. The results suggested that these ester compounds of atorvastatin have the potential to act as prodrugs in vivo.
