Balsalazide-azo-bonded prodrug, activated by bacteria in the colon

A prodrug becomes active when it is metabolized into its active form by the body's enzymes. This usually occurs after the prodrug is administered and travels to the site where it is converted into the active drug. Once activated, it can exert its therapeutic effect.

Prodrug for Phenobarbital.

A prodrug is a drug that is inactive when you take it (when it is administered), but then becomes active once your body starts to break it down (usually through metabolism). Stimulant simply refers to a class of drug. The opposite would be a non-stimulant. However, it is a different adjective describing the drug and is not part of "prodrug". That is, to be clear, the drug you're looking at is both a stimulant and a prodrug.

If the base hydrolysis mechanism is important, an electron withdrawing group can be attached to the prodrug. If the acid hydrolysis mechanism is important, an electron donating group can be attacked to the prodrug.

A prodrug actually has several biopharmaceutical benifits. First of all, it is important to understand the definition of a prodrug. A prodrug is a drug that is taken inactive, and through natural metabolic processes becomes active. One benifit is that a prodrug formulation actually increases the bioavailability of the drug. This means that if a drug is poorly absorbed by the body, a prodrug formulation of it can actually increase the amount of drug brought into the circulatory system (By making less polar/ionized). Next, this formulation can act as a vehicle to bring the drugs to specific areas of the body for usage. Drugs that need to pass the blood brain barrier for CNS affects can use a very lipid soluble vehicle bound to it to allow it to cross the barrier. Once the drugs gets to its target site, it is broken down by specific metabolic processes that present the active drug. Furthermore, a mutual prodrug is when both componants give pharmacotherapeutic affect. The Vigabatrin (GABA deaminase inhibitor), GABA (inhibbitory neurotransmitter), Fatty acyl ester (very lipid soluble) prodrug combination is a mutual prodrug in which the Vehicle takes the drug to the brain, the vigabatrin blocks the breakdown of GABA, and GABA is released. This prodrug is a treatment of Parkinsons disease as it increases the inhibition of the tremors and erratic movements associated with it. Finally, it also gives less side effects. Because of increased specificity (due to the fact only certain metabolic processes break down the prodrug, releasing its active componants at specific sites) their are a reduced amount of side effects. Hope this helps

Yes. It is a prodrug of an amphetamine.

Captopril is not used as a prodrug. It is an active drug itself, classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat hypertension and heart failure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

The different types of carrier-linked prodrugs are bipartite, tripartite, and mutual. Bipartite structures consist of a carrier linked to a prodrug. Tripartite structues have a carrier linked to a drug via a linker. Mutual structures have two drugs linked to each other.

Psilocybin is a prodrug found in psilocybe (magic) mushrooms (along with psilocin and baeocystin). It is metabolized (dephosphorylated) into psilocin which the actual psychoactive.

One example of a drug that is a prodrug activated by colonic bacteria when given orally is sulfasalazine. In the colon, bacteria cleave the molecule, releasing the active components, sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid, which are then absorbed and exert their therapeutic effects in conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

No; Vyvanse is a prodrug that requires to be swallowed for the drug (dextroamphetamine) to become active. Smoking will produce no psychoactive effects and is dangerous for your health.

cefpodoxime proxetil is a prodrug that is de-esterified in the GI tract. It becomes cefpodoxime free acid which is the active metabolite.

No; Vyvanse contains the prodrug lisdexamfetamine which is dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine is classified as a stimulant and is not chemically related in action or structure to opiates.

No it's not a prodrug it works by acetylating the serine in the 530 position of COX and is then converted to salicylic acid which is inactive. It acts by preventing Arachadonic acid (AA) from entering the active site and forming PGG2, This is also true for COX2 even though it does allow AA to pass it doesn't form PGG2 instead forming 15-R-HETE.

Yes, Vicodin contains hydrocodone, which is an opiate, mixed with acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Yes. Although it is a "prodrug", meaning that it requires some metabolism in the body in order to become activated, Vyvanse is essentially an amphetamine compound.

Yes; Vyvanse is a prodrug for dextroamphetamine. Vyvanse contains a bonded chemical containing dextroamphetamine and l-lysine.

no, Metadate is methylphenidate and it won't show up as anything, Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, a prodrug of amphetamine, and will show up as such

Yes, it is a prodrug of Phenmetrazine meaning a portion of it is converetd to Phenmetrazine by the liver. It has milder amphetamine like effects and therefore is less controlled as opposed to the amphetamines. Phenmetrazine and amphetamines are under strict Schedule II of the controlled substance act. Meanwhile Phendimetrazine is a less regulated Schedule III controlled substance. Yes it acts on the CNS like the amphetamines, but with less amphetamine like effects.

An example of a milder Prodrug is Codeine. Codeine is a Prodrug of Morphine.

The main substances in magic mushrooms that contribute to its 'trippy' nature and Psilocin and Psilocybin. Psilocybin is a prodrug for Psilocin which means the body converts Psilocybin into Psilocin.

No; Vyvanse is the prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Methamphetamine is considered more neurotoxic than dextroamphetamine.

Seni-Ven is used for treating nerve pain caused by shingles. It can also be used as an analgesic for people with other forms of neuropathic pain. It is a prodrug of gabapentin.

4-acetoxy DMT (hydrochloride) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a tryptamine.1 4-acetoxy DMT is a prodrug form of 4-hydroxy DMT

Adenosine tablets are available, but adenosine is rapidly destroyed by acids and adenosine deaminase.

Adenosine monophosphate is mentioned as a prodrug, but even it seems to need to be injected.

I've seen ATP as a suppliment, but I have no idea how absorbable it is.

Vyvanse is the brand-name for lisdexamfetamine. Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine is a scheduled drug and if you do not have a prescription it is against the law to obtain or use. Rarely, amphetamine can cause heart failure and psychosis.

Some disadvantages of prodrugs include potential variability in conversion to the active drug due to individual differences in metabolism, the risk of inactive metabolites causing toxicity, and the need for additional steps in drug processing which can complicate drug development and regulation.

No. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisexamfetamine which is a prodrug of amphetamine. Vyvanse is created in a way that it is not possible to inject or snort the drug to produce a high which makes it less abusable. Amphetamine works on norepinephrine and dopamine receptors, while SSRI's work on serotonin.

Prodrugs are inactive compounds that are converted to active drugs in the body through metabolic processes. This conversion can occur through enzymatic reactions, hydrolysis, or other chemical processes. Prodrugs are designed to improve drug delivery, increase stability, or reduce side effects compared to the active form of the drug.

Ribavirin is an anti-viral drug indicated for severe RSV (Human respiratory syncytial virus) infection, hepatitis C infection and other viral infections. Ribavirin is a prodrug, which when metabolised resembles purine RNA nucleotides. In this form it interferes with RNA metabolism required for viral replication.

Dabigatran is more sensitive to moisture than argatroban because dabigatran is a prodrug that can degrade through hydrolysis in the presence of moisture, resulting in decreased stability and potency. In contrast, argatroban is a stable compound that is less prone to degradation in the presence of moisture.

Nope, it is a pro-drug, which means it must pass through the liver to be converted into something active. IF you injected it, you would bypass the liver, wasting it.

Vyvanse show up in both urine and blood tests as an amphetamine.

No; Vyvanse contains lisdextafetamine which is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamines will cause a "good response" or increased feelings of well-being and focus in almost all individuals who consume it. It does not indicate that you have ADHD. Vyvanse is addictive and should be used cautiously, as it is a scheduled II drug that caries penalties for consumption without a prescription.

Tranxene is unique among benzos. It's unreliable absorption makes it more inaccurate to measure half-life, elimination, etc. It's a prodrug and the principal active metabolite nordiazepam has a half-life of up to 200 hours and can stay in the body for up to a week in detectable quantities (much like Valium). Of course like all drugs, the more you use the longer it tends to linger in your system.

No; Vyvanse is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine can in rare cases cause cardiac failure in those with heart defects. Most doctors before prescribing stimulant drugs order heart tests to ensure there is no heart issues that could cause cardiac side effects. When used in proper doses, Vyvanse is safe. Cocaine has no appropriate dose and is far more dangerous than Vyvanse.

No. Sinemet is a combination of a prodrug (levodopa, which is converted in the body to dopamine) and an inhibitor that prevents the conversion (the enzyme it inhibits is DOPA decarboxylase; MAOI drugs inhibit monoamine oxidase). The inhibitor is highly polar and cannot pass the blood-brain barrier, so it inhibits the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the body generally, but allows conversion within the brain. This is done because high levels of dopamine outside the brain can result in nausea and vomiting.
