Rational design of a new series of mixed anti-HIV pronucleotides

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Nov 3;8(21):3003-6. doi: 10.1016/S0960-894X(98)00535-6.

Abstract

MonoSATE aryl phosphotriesters of AZT are able to deliver intracellularly the corresponding 5'-mononucleotide. This process requires activation by an esterase followed by a phosphodiesterase. This finding opens the way to the design of new pronucleotide series.
