Abstract
Among the major problems in the design of some drugs are inappropriate dissolution in biological fluids, inappropriate absorption and lack of resistance to hydrolysis. For this reason, drug design in the form of ester prodrugs can solve the above challenges. Today, more than 30% of all drugs on the market are prodrugs, with ester prodrugs being the most commonly used. This is a review article, which is written using reliable scientific sources. Ester prodrugs have more chemical stability in many conditions, good water solubility, appropriate absorption and penetration across the cell membrane, and resistance to hydrolysis. And these properties of ester prodrugs are used in drug discovery and design.
