Supramolecular Degraders: An Emerging Paradigm in Targeted Protein Degradation. [PDF]
Dynamic supramolecular assembly reshapes targeted protein degradation by coordinating modular degrader construction, delivery, functional integration, and intracellular assembly or activation across proteasomal, endosomal–lysosomal, and autophagy–lysosomal pathways.

Use of a direct, positive selection strategy to generate improved prodrug-activating enzymes for cancer gene therapy [PDF]
E. coli NfsB nitroreductase (NTR) is currently being studied in combination with the prodrug CB1954, as a gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy. NTR reduces CB1954 at either the 2- or 4-nitro groups to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxylamine derivatives ...

Aryloxy Pivaloyloxymethyl Prodrugs as Nucleoside Monophosphate Prodrugs [PDF]
Intracellular phosphorylation of therapeutic nucleoside analogues into their active triphosphate metabolites is a prerequisite for their pharmacological activity. However, the initial phosphorylation of these unnatural nucleosides into their monophosphate derivatives can be a rate-limiting step in their activation. To address this, we herein report the

Morphine is not a prodrug [PDF]
Editor–A prodrug is defined as a medication that is administered in an inactive or less than fully active form and is then converted to its active form through a normal metabolic process (http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Prodrug). The title of a recent publication in the British Journal of Analgesia, ‘Morphine-6-glucuronide is responsible for the ...

Desymmetrization of Pibrentasvir for Efficient Prodrug Synthesis [PDF]
A novel and practical desymmetrization tactic is described to access a new class of pibrentasvir prodrugs. The homotopic benzimidazoles of pibrentasvir (PIB) are differentiated via a one-pot di-Boc/mono-de-Boc selective N-Boc protection and formaldehyde ...

Carrier-Free Stimulus-Responsive Theranostic Nanoprodrug Enabling GSH-Consumption-Promoted Chemo-Photodynamic Cancer Therapy. [PDF]
Leveraging the critical role of glutathione (GSH) in mediating drug resistance and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells, a carrier‐free GSH‐consuming theranostic nanoprodrug, consisting of a BODIPY photosensitizer and the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel linked through a GSH‐consuming drug linker, is developed to deeply explore the ...

Ultrasound-Recharged Sub-Nanometer Palladium Catalysts for on-Demand and Self-Terminating Bioorthogonal Prodrug Activation in Cancer Therapy. [PDF]
Safe and precise bioorthogonal therapy of tumors was achieved by an ultrasound‐responsive heterostructured nanoreactor with on‐demand catalytic activity. Under piezoelectric catalysis, the system undergoes reversible Pd2+/Pd0 redox cycling, concurrently enabling spatiotemporally controlled prodrug activation and self‐terminating catalytic dose ...

A CNS-Targeting Prodrug Strategy for Nuclear Receptor Modulators [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases lack a breadth of treatment options due, in part, to the known difficulties associated with a drug’s passage across the blood-brain barrier.
