title: Glycosylated PROLI/NO derivatives as nitric oxide prodrugs.
abstract: GlcNAc-PROLI/NO prodrugs that are activated by N-acetylglucosaminidase to release nitric oxide (NO) are described. A classical acid-amine coupling is used to bifunctionalize these PROLI/NO prodrugs, which on activation generate up to 4 mol of NO, a peptide residue, and an N-acetylglucosamine residue. Many of the prodrugs synthesized are efficient sources of intracellular NO.
