The expanding role of prodrugs in contemporary drug design and development

TL;DR: This Review highlights prodrug design strategies for improved formulation and pharmacokinetic and targeting properties, with a focus on the most recently marketed prodrugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orally Absorbed Cyclic Peptides

TL;DR: The cyclic peptides violated to different degrees all of the limits traditionally considered to be important for oral bioavailability of drug-like small molecules, although fewer hydrogen bond donors and reduced flexibility generally favored oral absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Abundance of Clinically Relevant Multidrug Transporters along the Entire Length of the Human Intestine

TL;DR: Analysis of intestinal transporters in healthy epithelium of the duodenum, the proximal and distal jejunum and ileum, and the ascending, transversal, descending, and sigmoidal colon of six organ donors provides further physiological pieces of the puzzle required to predict intestinal drug absorption in humans.

Differential Recognition of β-Lactam Antibiotics by Intestinal and Renal Peptide Transporters, PEPT 1 and PEPT 2

TL;DR: It is concluded that there are marked differences between the intestinal and renal peptide transporters in the recognition of β-lactam antibiotics as substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delta-aminolevulinic acid transport by intestinal and renal peptide transporters and its physiological and clinical implications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ALA uses the intestinal and renal apical peptide transporters for entering into epithelial cells and is electrogenic in nature as a consequence of H+/ALA cotransport.

Crystal structure of a prokaryotic homologue of the mammalian oligopeptide–proton symporters, PepT1 and PepT2

TL;DR: The crystal structure of PepTSo is presented, a functionally similar prokaryotic homologue of the mammalian peptide transporters from Shewanella oneidensis, which reveals a ligand‐bound occluded state for the MFS and provides new insights into a general transport mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter family SLC15: physiological, pharmacological and pathological implications.

TL;DR: In this review, updated information is provided on the structure-function of PepT1, PepT2, PhT1 and PhT2 and their expression and localization in key tissues, and as potential targets for drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmaceutical and pharmacological importance of peptide transporters.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to put the reports on peptide transporter‐mediated drug uptake into perspective and to review the current knowledge on pharmacogenomics and clinical relevance of human peptide transporters.
