Esterase-Sensitive Cyclic Prodrugs of Peptides: Evaluation of an Acyloxyalkoxy Promoiety in a Model Hexapeptide

Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate a cyclic acyloxyalkoxycarbamate prodrug of a model hexapeptide (H-Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-OH) as a novel approach to enhance the membrane permeation of the peptide and stabilize...
