Abstract
Acyloxyalkyl esters of phosphate-containing second messengers which are capable of permeating cell membranes. Once inside the cell, the ester derivatives undergo enzymatic conversion to the biologically active form of the second messenger. Acyloxyalkyl esters of second messengers, such as cAMP, cGMP, inositol triphosphate and inositol tetraphosphate are disclosed.
