Abstract

Novel glycerolipidic prodrugs of didanosine and didanosine monophosphate designed to by-pass the hepatic first pass metabolism were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxicity and anti-HIV-1 activity. Formulation as liposomes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine was elaborated. A simple quantitative HPLC-UV method was developed and validated, and ESI-MS was used for qualitative purpose. These two prodrugs exhibited promising biological activities against HIV-1 in in vitro infected cell culture.

Graphical abstractGlycerolipidic prodrugs of didanosine 1 and didanosine monophosphate 2 were synthesized and evaluated against HIV-1 in cell culture with no sign of toxicity.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
