title: A new linker for glucuronylated anticancer prodrugs.
abstract: The synthesis, enzymatic hydrolysis and self decomposition of model glucuronylated prodrugs, incorporating a new linker with different aryl substituents, have been studied. Determination of kinetic parameters (V(max), K(m) and t(1/2)) showed the important role of aromatic substitution in enzymatic recognition and linker decomposition.
