Abstract
In order to discover a quercetin prodrug with improved bioavailability, we synthesized nine quercetin-amion acid conjugates and estimated their pharmacokinetic properties including water solubility, stability against chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis, and cell permeability. Among the synthesized quercetin prodrugs, quercetin-glutamic acid conjugate Qu-E (4g/5g) showed remarkable increases in water solubility, stability, and cell permeability compared with quercetin, which warrants further development as a quercetin prodrug.Entities:
