Abstract

See full text

The oral delivery of many classes of drugs is facilitated by converting drugs having suitable functional groups to 1-O-alkyl-, 1-O-acyl-, 1-S-acyl, and 1-S-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate derivatives. The method confers the ability to be absorbed through the digestive tract to drugs that are not orally bioavailable in the non-derivatized state, and enhances the effectiveness of drugs that are poorly absorbed or rapidly eliminated. The method provides orally bioavailable lipid prodrugs of zaxol and taxol-related compounds. Potency of the lipid prodrugs is comparable to that of the corresponding nonderivatized drugs. In a preferred embodiment, taxol or substituted taxol is covalently bound to a phospholipid.
