摘要
Bexarotene, a retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist, is being tested as a potential disease modifying treatment for neurodegenerative conditions. To limit the peripheral exposure of bexarotene and release it only in the affected areas of the brain, we designed a prodrug strategy based on the enzyme NAD( P) H/quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) that is elevated in neurodegenerative diseases. A series of indolequinones (known substrates of NQO1) was synthesized and coupled to bexarotene. Bexarotene-3(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxy-1,2-dimethyl-1H-indole-4,7-dione ester 7a was cleaved best by NQO1. The prodrugs are not cleaved by esterase. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
