Abstract

Compounds wherein a biologically active molecule is coupled to a glutathione analog through a conjugated system which permits activation of the biologically active molecule while retaining the biologically active molecule tethered to the glutathione analog are useful as tethered prodrugs that slow the rate of clearance of an active biomolecule through the multidrug resistance pump.
