| الوصف: | Based on the demonstrated and reported trypanocidal, leishmanicidal, and antiplasmodial activities of two menthol prodrugs, it was decided to proceed with preformulation studies, which are of key relevance in the drug discovery process. The aim of this study is to examine the stability and permeability of two new menthol prodrugs with antiparasitic activity. To determine the stability of menthol and its prodrugs, the corresponding studies were carried out in buffered solutions at pH values of 1.2, 5.8, and 7.4 at 37 °C. In silico permeability studies were performed using the free PerMM software and then in vitro permeability studies were performed using a biomimetic artificial membrane (BAM). Permeability studies conducted in silico predicted that both menthol and its prodrugs would pass through biological membranes via flip-flop movement. This prediction was subsequently confirmed by in vitro BAM permeability studies, where it was observed that the menthol prodrugs (1c and 1g) exhibited the highest Papp (apparent permeability) value compared to the parent compound. The study reveals that menthol prodrugs exhibit stability at a pH of 5.8 and possess sufficient in vitro permeability values as preformulation parameters. |
