Provided herein are prodrug compounds, their preparation and their uses, such as treating liver diseases or non-liver diseases via intervening in the molecular pathways in the liver. Novel prodrug compounds of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, their preparation and their uses are described. Some embodiments are related to novel prodrug compounds that are absorbed in the intestine and taken up via the hepatic portal vein to the liver. Some embodiments are directed to the use of the prodrugs to change eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids absorption routes. Another aspect includes the use of prodrugs to treat diseases that benefit from enhanced eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids distribution to the liver and like tissues and cells, including but not limited to fatty liver, and metabolic and cardiovascular diseases where the liver is involved in the production and/or the homeostasis control of the biochemical end products, e.g. glucose, cholesterol, fatty acids, triglycerides, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins. |
