Abstract

Novel bone-targeting prodrugs containing dendritic naproxen and poly(aspartic acid) oligopeptide were synthesized in a convergent approach and were characterized by NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis techniques. The modified naproxen prodrugs showed a high affinity to hydroxyapatite in vitro and provided an effective entry for the synthesis of a dendritic naproxen–poly(aspartic acid) oligopeptide conjugates used for bone targeting.
