Twenty derivatives bearing substituents on the phenolic function of (-)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-propylpiperidine [(-)-3-PPP] were synthesized and tested as prodrugs. The carbamate ester derivatives were found to be the most suitable prodrugs, and especially the 4-isopropylphenylcarbamate 20 was capable of escaping the first-pass metabolism and still generating high plasma levels of the parent compound. Four hours after an oral dose of 100 mumol/kg to rats, a plasma level of 2400 nmol/L of (-)-3-PPP was detected by an HPLC method. This was 90 times the level reached after 4 h (27 nmol/L) when (-)-3-PPP itself was given orally at the same dose.
