Abstract
Coumarine acid linker was used to prepare cyclic prodrugs of the RGD peptide mimetic MK-383 and several of its analogs. The corresponding cyclic prodrugs were designed to be sensitive to esterases and underwent bioconversion. These cyclic prodrugs have physicochemical properties that enhanced the cell membrane permeation and underwent bioconversion in blood and tissues to the RGD peptide mimetics. The cyclic coumarinic acid-bases prodrug of the RGD peptide mimetic MK-383 exhibited potent antithrombotic activity when orally administered to dogs.
