Abstract:
The stability of phosphotriester derivatives of 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT) bearing a S-pivaloyl-2-thioethyl (tBuSATE) group and various aryl residues derived from L-tyrosine was evaluated in biological media. The results demonstrate that such compounds give rise to intracellular delivery of the parent mononucleotide through esterase and phosphodiesterase hydrolytic steps, successively.
