Our laboratory has recently reported the development of a coumarin- based, esterase-sensitive prodrug system for the preparation of prodrugs of amines, peptides, and peptidomimetics. Biological evaluations including animal studies have demonstrated the cl

To study the structural effects on the release kinetics of a coumarin- based esterase-sensitive prodrug system, two series of compounds with varying structural features of the ester 'trigger' part and the amine 'drug' part were synthesized. The half-lives of the nine model prodrugs in the presence of porcine liver esterase ranged from about 2 min to 190 min. The steric bulkiness of the acyl group seems to have only a very minor effect on the half-lives of the esterase-triggered release of amines from the model prodrugs. The rate of the lactonization depends on the steric and electronic properties of the amine moiety.
