Abstract

Like most phosphinic acids, the potent and selective RXP03 inhibitor of different MMPs exhibited moderate absorption and low bioavailability, which impaired its use. In an unprecedented attempt, we present an interesting synthetic approach to a new class of phosphinate prodrug, glycosyl ester of RXP03, to provide a potentially improved blood–brain barrier (BBB) behavior compared to the former lead compound RXP03. To validate this speculation, a predictive study for permeability enhancer of glycosyl ester of RXP03 showed encouraging insights to improve drug delivery across biological barriers.
