title: Aryloxy phosphoramidate triesters as pro-tides.
abstract: We herein describe the development of aryloxy phosphoramidate triesters as an effective pro-tide motif for the intracellular delivery of charged bio-active antiviral nucleoside monophosphates. The review covers the discovery of such aryl phosphoramidates, their mechanism of action and structure-activity relationships. The application of this strategy to a range of antiviral nucleosides is highlighted.
