  • Patent number: 8044230
    Abstract: The present invention discloses certain novel prodrugs of chloramphenicol or thiamphenicol, or of an analog of either, including prodrugs of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of chloramphenicol or thiamphenicol or of their analogs, including nitrogen-containing esters of both alcohol groups of such compounds. In certain embodiments these novel prodrugs are sufficiently water-soluble to serve the functions needed of a prodrug of chloramphenicol or thiamphenicol or of an analog of either. In one embodiment, a certain subclass of the compounds also possesses the hydrolytic stability needed to maintain the prodrug in solution in the subject's system until appropriate conditions exist when the prodrug can hydrolyze, releasing the active compound in question.

  • Publication number: 20110212467
    Abstract: Evidence demonstrating that elevated expression of dUTPase protects breast cancer cells from the expansion of the intracellular uracil pool, translating to reduced growth inhibition following treatment with 5-FU is provided. The implementation of in silica drug development techniques to identify and develop small molecule inhibitors of dUTPase are reported. As 5-FU and the oral 5-FU pro-drug capecitabine remain central agents in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, the clinical utility of a small molecule inhibitor to dUTPase represents a viable strategy to improve the clinical efficacy of these mainstay chemotherapeutic agents.
