Abstract: A method of forming a compound in a subject can include: providing a composition having a prodrug compound represented by a structure of Formula 1 or stereoisomer thereof or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and administering the composition to a subject such that the prodrug compound has a phosphoryloxyalkyl prodrug moiety removed therefrom to form the compound in the subject and to form the separate phosphoryloxyalkyl compound. The prodrug can be included in a pharmaceutical composition for use in treatment of fungus, various cancers (e.g., bladder, breast, etc.), dermatitis, superficial mycoses; inflammation, tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Microsporum canis, candidiasis (moniliasis), Candida albicans, tinea (pityriasis) vesicolor, Malassezia furfur, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

Abstract: A compound can include a structure having decoquinate coupled to a prodrug moiety, or derivative or isomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound can be a decoquinate prodrug. The decoquinate prodrug can have a structure of any of the formulae described herein. The decoquinate prodrug can be synthesized in any manner, such as a synthetic method that includes Scheme 1A or Scheme 1B and Schemes 2, 3, and/or 4. The decoquinate prodrug can be prepared into a pharmaceutical composition with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as an aqueous composition. The decoquinate prodrug can be used for inhibiting or treating a parasitic infection, such as a malarial infection or a coccidian infection.

Abstract: A prodrug that has a prodrug moiety that degrades into a compound having the general Formula I with R3 being an alcoholic moiety can be useful in therapies for neurodegenerative diseases as well as cancer. Accordingly, the prodrug compounds can have a structure of Formula I, analogs thereof, derivatives thereof, or salts thereof, wherein: A and B are sulfur or oxygen; R1 and R2, in para, meta, or ortho position, are independently halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, where R1 and R2 independently are straight chain, branched, substituted or unsubstituted; and R3 is a prodrug moiety. As examples, the prodrug can have a structure of any of Formulas I-V, which as shown in the specification.

Abstract: A prodrug of 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2) can be used for prophylaxis or treatment of cancer, such as esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, or breast cancer, and/or a non-cancerous condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis or pre-clampsia.
