Prodrugs are said to be bioreversible derivatives which on biotransformation change into active pharmacophore. Prodrugs has been extensively studied amongst the drug design scientists for a wide range of applications. This book will cover the specific examples of prodrugs that overcomes drugs side-effects.

Recent Advancement in Prodrugs

Drugs used as medicines have many limitations like low chemical stability, aqueous solubility, or oral absorption/bioavailability, rapid presystemic metabolism, toxicity, inadequate site specificity, or poor patient acceptance/compliance (unwanted adverse effects, unacceptable taste or odor, irritation or pain). Prodrugs design is an approach to overcome these limitations.

Key features

Covers recent advancements in development of prodrugs

Presents balanced synthesis and applications of prodrug chemistry
