NOVEL PRODRUGS

摘要

The present invention relates to novel prodrug compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which convert in vivo to the active species 4-(1-benzenesulfonyl-6-fluoro-1H-indol-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-cyclohexa-2,5-dienone. The prodrug compounds of the invention have dramatically improved solubility relative to 4-(1-benzenesulfonyl-6-fluoro-1H- indol-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-cyclohexa-2,5-dienone and, accordingly, can be easily formulated for administration to a patient. The prodrugs of the invention are therefore useful for the treatment cellular proliferation disorders, such as cancer.
