Abstract
Based on the known coumarin-based prodrug system, a new meptazinol (Z)-3-[2-(propionyloxy) phenyl]-2-propenoic ester (3) was designed and synthesized as prodrug to minimize the first-pass effect of meptazinol (1) and improve the oral bioavailability. The prodrug (3) showed a 4-fold increase in oral bioavailability over the parent drug meptazinol in rats.Entities:
