摘要
Quaternary amine prodrugs resulting from N-phosphonooxymethyl derivatization of the tertiary amine functionality of drugs represents a novel approach for improving their water solubility. Separate reports have demonstrated the synthetic feasibility and rapid and quantitative prodrug to parent drug conversion in rats and dogs. This work is a preliminary evaluation of the physicochemical and in vitro enzymatic reversion properties of selected prodrugs. The loxapine prodrug had over a 15 000-fold increase in aqueous solubility relative to loxapine free base at pH 7.4. The loxapine prodrug was also shown to be quite stable at neutral pH values. The time for degradation product (parent drug) precipitation from an aqueous prodrug formulation would be expected to dictate the shelf life. Using this assumption, together with solubility and elevated temperature chemical stability studies, the shelf life of a parenteral formulation of the loxapine prodrug was projected to be close to 2 years at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C. In addition, the prodrugs of cinnarizine and loxapine have been shown to be substrates for alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme found throughout the human body, and revert to the parent compound in its presence. The results from these evaluations demonstrate that the derivatives examined have many of the ideal properties required for potential clinical application.
