This disclosure relates to lipid disulfide prodrugs and in particular to lipid disulfide phosphodiester nucleosides and derivatives thereof, pharmaceutical compositions, and uses related thereto. According to one embodiment of the disclosure there is provided a compound of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof, wherein substituents are disclosed herein.

Lipid disulfide prodrugs and uses related thereto

Disclosed are acyclic nucleoside prodrugs with improved metabolic stability and oral bioavailability. In general, the prodrugs are derivatives of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates containing a lipid-like moiety that can increase oral absorption and subsequent stability in the liver and plasma. Preferably, the lipid-like moiety can resist enzyme-mediated ω-oxidation, such as ω-oxidation catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical formulations of the acyclic nucleoside prodrugs. The acyclic nucleoside prodrugs and pharmaceutical formulations thereof can be used to treat viral infections, such as HIV infections, and/or viral-associated cancer, such as HPV-associated cancers.

Nucleoside prodrugs and uses related thereto

This disclosure relates to lipid disulfide prodrugs and in particular to lipid disulfide phosphodiester nucleosides and derivatives thereof, pharmaceutical compositions, and uses related thereto. According to one embodiment of the disclosure there is provided a compound of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof, wherein substitutents are disclosed herein.
