Prodrug
“Biologically inert derivatives of drug molecules that
undergo an enzymatic and/or chemical conversion in
vivo to release the pharmacologically active parent
drug.” (Adrien Albert, 1958)

B. Bioprecursors
Bioprecursor prodrugs produce their effects after in
vivo chemical modification of their inactive form.
Bioprecursor prodrugs rely on oxidative or reductive
activation reactions unlike the hydrolytic activation of
carrier-linked prodrugs.
They metabolized into a new compound that may
itself be active or further metabolized to an active
metabolite.
