Tentative Title: The prodrug approach: a strategy to improve drug skin permeation
Authors: L. Montenegro *, C. Carbone, G. Puglisi

E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: The skin is regarded as a valuable portal for drug delivery. However, drug skin permeation is strongly limited by the formidable barrier function of the skin and by the unsuitable physicochemical properties of most drugs. Therefore many strategies have been proposed to improve drug skin permeability such as the prodrug approach. The prodrug concept involves the chemical modification of a drug into a bioreversible form in order to change its pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties and thereby enhancing its skin permeation and therapeutic efficacy. In this review prodrugs which have been investigated to improve topical and transdermal drug delivery are considered along with their potential applications in the pharmaceutical field.

Tentative Title: Polysulfated/Polysulfonated Compounds for the Development of Drugs at the Crossroad of Tumor and Infectious Dideases

Abstract: Polyanionic compounds are an heterogeneous group of synthetic, semisynthetic or natural molecules whose prototypes are polysulfated heparin and polysulfonated suramin. Polyanionic compounds can structurally vary for backbone structure and length and for  number and disposition of sulfated/sulfonated groups. Different combinations of all these features confer to polyanionic compounds the capacity to bind with a variable degree of specificity and affinity many proteins such as enzymes, proteases, extracellular matrix components, cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and their receptors. Also, polyanionic compounds bind different components of pathogenic microorganisms, mainly viruses. Polyanionic compounds mirror the binding capacities of cell- or extracellular matrix-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycans, that act indeed as receptors for many of the proteins cited above. On these bases, polyanionic compounds have been taken in considerations as inhibitors of different pathological processes, in particular tumor growth, metastatization and angiogenesis, infection, virus replication, leukocyte recruitment  and inflammation. Being some of these processes overlapping, polyanionic compounds may act as multitarget drugs, thus able to control a given disease by blocking different pathological processes simultaneously. Here we discuss this possibility in light of the available literature data.
