New adefovir (PMEA) prodrugs with a pro-moiety consisting of decyl(oxyethyl) chain bearing hydroxyl function(s), hexaethyleneglycol or a (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl unit were prepared from the tetrabutylammonium salt of the phosphonate drug and an appropriate alkyl bromide or tosylate. Analogously, two esters of Cidofovir [(S)-HPMPC] bearing a hexaethyleneglycol moiety were prepared. The antiviral activity of the prodrugs was evaluated in vitro. A loss in the antiviral activities of the hydroxylated decyl(oxyethyl) esters and hexaethyleneglycol esters of PMEA against HIV and herpesviruses. (S)-HPMPC prodrugs exhibited anticytomegalovirus activities in the same range as the parent drug, whereas the anti-HSV and anti-VZV activities were one- to seven-fold lower than that of Cidofovir.
