Abstract
The composition and methods of synthesis of phosphorus prodrugs are described. These methods can be used to convert negatively charged phosphorous bearing drugs into neutrally charged; lipid soluble prodrugs which are able to passively diffuse into cells and into tissues in vivo. Prodrugs for a variety of antiviral and anti-leukemic agents are described.
