What is Understanding Prodrugs and Their Types about?

A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive compound that is metabolized into an active drug within the body. Prodrugs are designed to improve how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted to enhance bioavailability or selectivity for its intended target. There are two major types of prodrugs - Type I are converted intracellularly while Type II are converted extracellularly, often in digestive fluids or blood. Examples of each type are provided.
