Article Description

To improve the low water-solubility of HIV-1 protease inhibitors KNI-272, -279 and -727, we previously reported the water-soluble prodrugs of these inhibitors based on O → N intramolecular acyl migration reaction. These prodrugs were rapidly converted to the corresponding parent drugs under physiological conditions. To understand the steric and electrostatic effects of O -acyl moiety on the migration rate, we examined several types of prodrug. A remarkably slow migration was observed in the benzoyl-type prodrugs, and Hammett plot of migration rate constants of p -substituted benzoyl-type prodrugs gave a linear free energy relationship.
