Patent number: 8304420Abstract: This invention relates to the discovery of prodrugs of 3-or 5-substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide which have reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects and which should therefore lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to prodrugs of certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting the formation of blood platelets. An example of a compound of the present invention is methyl 2-(2-amino-5,6- dichloroquinazolin-3 (4H)-yl)-2-methylpropanoate or the 3,3-demethyl anagrelide open-ringed analog.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2007Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Shire LLCInventors: Richard Franklin, Bernard T.

Publication number: 20120270847Abstract: Carbamate linked prodrugs of meptazinol and other opioid analgesics are provided. The prodrug moiety may comprise a single amino acid or short peptide. Additionally, the present invention relates to methods for reducing gastrointestinal side effects in a subject, the gastrointestinal side effects being associated with the administration of an opioid analgesic. The methods comprise orally administering an opioid prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject, wherein the opioid pro-drug is comprised of an opioid analgesic covalently bonded through a carbamate linkage to a prodrug moiety, and wherein upon oral administration, the prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt minimizes at least one gastrointestinal side effect associated with oral administration of the opioid analgesic alone. Compositions for use with the method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2010Publication date: October 25, 2012Applicant: SHIRE LLCInventors: Richard Franklin, Bernard T.
