pubmed-article:10741556 | pubmed:abstractText | We report an improved single-step synthesis to generate the membrane-permeant acetoxymethyl esters (AM-esters) of cGMP and three cGMP-analogues. These bioactivatable compounds were found to induce cell death in rat IPC-81 cells, a model system for acute myelocytic leukemia, in micromolar doses, while the corresponding non-modified cGMP-analogues were inactive. | lld:pubmed |
