  • Publication number: 20120202756
    Abstract: The present invention relates to prodrugs of a wide variety of drugs and pharmaceutical compositions containing such prodrugs. Methods for minimizing locally mediated (from within the gut lumen) adverse gastrointestinal events associated with the underivatised drug and increasing the sustainment of plasma drug levels with the aforementioned prodrugs are also provided. Thus, the present invention relates to the use of prodrugs of a wide diversity of drugs (other than opioids) to transiently inactivate them and so reduce directly, locally mediated adverse gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects normally evident after administration of the parent compound. Additionally, such prodrugs may confer improved pharmacokinetics.
