Abstract

The objective of this work was to synthesize cyclic prodrug 2 derived from the parent RGD peptidomimetic 1 and to evaluate its chemical and enzymatic stabilities and antithrombic activity. Cyclic prodrug 2 was formed to improve the cell membrane permeation of RGD peptidomimetic 1 by transiently masking the unfavorable physicochemical properties of compound 1. Cyclic prodrug 2 was synthesized by linking the amino and carboxylic acid ...
