The methylprednisolone suleptanate 208b, the water-soluble prodrug of the methylprednisolone corticosteroid 208a, has been labelled with 14C exclusively at the carboxamide carbon175 which was found to be metabolically stable with no loss of 14CC>2 after administration to test animals and man.

The URDP/PNP/Ara-U process is used to manufacture nelarabine, a water-soluble prodrug of 9-p-D-arabinofuranosylguanidine produced as a treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Scheme 1.29). The two-enzyme process is run at 200 g... 

Phenytoin is a diphenyl-substituted hydantoin with the structure shown. It has much lower sedative properties than compounds with alkyl substituents at the 5 position. A more soluble prodrug of phenytoin, fosphenytoin, is available for parenteral use this phosphate ester compound is rapidly converted to phenytoin in the plasma. 

Tenofovir disopoxilfumarate is a water-soluble prodrug of active tenofovir. The oral bioavailability in fasted patients is approximately 25% and increases to 39% after a high-fat meal. The prolonged serum (12-17 hours) and intracellular half-lives allow once-daily dosing. Elimination occurs by both glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion.

V feter-soluble prodrugs that are unstable in solution may be prepared as a lyophilized mixture to be reconstituted before use, although this adds sigantly to the production cost, and proves to be an inconvenience to those responsible for administration. 

Ideally, a water-soluble prodrug product should have a shelf life of 2 years or more at room temperature, in which case the half-lifevitro should be at least 13 years. If the only purpose of prodrug formation is to improve the aqueous solubility of the parent compound, then bioconversion in vivo should be extremely rapid. If it is assumed that more than 90% of the prodrug is converted to the parent drug within 30 min of the injection, tlrevivo half-life should be 10 min or less. 

Ideal water-soluble prodrug design therefore requires aivo/in vitro lability ratio of nearly 1(f.
