THERAPEUTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS WITH LOW SYSTEMIC ACTIVITY DUE TO REDUCE HALF LIFE

摘要

There are described therapeutically active compounds or salts or solvates thereof, hydrolysable in human or animal blood to compounds with reduced therapeutic activity. There is also described a method of identifying a compound capable of providing a therapeutic effect at a target site within a human or animal body with reduced systemic potency to said body comprising evaluating the half-life of said compound in the presence of human serum paraoxonase. Suitable compounds have a half-life of less than 1 hour.
