SELECTION OR SYNTHESIS OF HARD SELECTION OR SYNTHESIS OF HARD AND SOFT DRUGSAND SOFT DRUGS
•Drugs are divided into two types based on their
Metabolic susceptibility•1)Hard drugs: these can be defined as drugs that are biologically active and non metabolizable in vivo eg: enalaprilat, lisinopril, cromolyn, and bisphophonates •2)Soft drugs: these can be defined as drugs that
Are produce predictable and controllable in vivo metabolism to form nontoxic product after they have shown their therapeutic role.• eg: cetyl pyridinium chlorides, soft cloramine

• Hard drugs:Hard drugs:• Hard drugs are those that are resistant to
metabolism, hence avoid problems caused by reactive intermediates and some times these are remain unchanged in the body
• These are characterized by high lipid solubility , accumulation in adipose tissue and organelles are high water solubility
• A few successful examples of hard drugs include bisphosphonates and ACE inhibitors.

• Hard drugs are divided into two types;
• 1)High lipid-soluble drugs:
• In this compounds the metabolically sensitive parts are blocked by “stearic packing” (or) by substitution of hydrogen atom with halogen
• Eg: hard celecoxib
![Page 6: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• 2)High water -soluble drugs:
• These drugs lack substrate properties to the metabolizing enzymes
• Their biological half life is very short and these are very potent compounds
• eg:cromoglicic acid

Soft Drug• Soft drugs are biologically active drugs
designed to have a predictable and
controllable metabolism to nontoxic and
inactive products after they have achieved
their desired pharmacological effect.
• The molecule could be deactivated and
detoxified shortly after it has exerted its
biological effect, the therapeutic index could
be increased, providing a safer drug.
![Page 8: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Feature
• It has a close structural similarity to the lead;
• It has a metabolically sensitive moiety built
into the lead structure;
• The incorporated metabolically sensitive spot
does not affect the overall physicochemical or
steric properties of the lead compound
![Page 9: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Advantages
• Elimination of toxic metabolites, thereby
increasing the therapeutic index of the drug;
• Avoidance of pharmacologically active
metabolites that can lead to long-term effects;
• Elimination of drug interactions resulting from
metabolite inhibition of enzymes;
• Simplification of pharmacokinetic problems
caused by multiple active species.
![Page 10: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The difference between prodrugs and soft durgs
• The concepts of prodrugs and soft drugs are
opposite, as follow:
• A prodrugs is an inactive compound that
requires a metabolic conversion to the active
form;
• A soft drug is pharmacologically active and
uses metabolism as a means of promoting
excretion
![Page 11: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• However, it is possible to design a pro-soft
drug, a modified soft drug that requires
metabolic activation for conversion to the
active soft drug.
• It is not possible to prepare soft-pro drug
![Page 12: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Classification of soft drugs:Classification of soft drugs:• Soft drugs are divided by Bodor into five different
groups
1.Soft analogs
2.Activated soft compounds
3.Natural soft Drugs
4.Soft Drugs based on active metabolite approach
5.Soft Drugs based on inactive metabolite approach
![Page 13: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Soft analogs:• Soft analogs are close structural analogs of known
active drugs or bio active compounds• These compounds have a specific “metabolically
sensitive spot built into their structure which provide their one-step controllable detoxification .
• These sensitive spots are not oxidizable alkyl chains or functional groups subjected to conjugation .
• The designed detoxification will take place as soon as possible after the desired activity is achieved
![Page 14: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• The simplest example of the soft analog is the isosteric analog (II) of cetylpyridinium chloride (I) which is a hard quaternary antimicrobial agent
![Page 15: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Activated soft compounds:Activated soft compounds:• These compounds are not the analogs of known
drugs
• These are designed by introducing a pharmacophoric group in a nontoxic inactive compound in order to activate it to exhibit a certain pharmacological activity.
• In vivo the activated form will lose the activating group and revert to the original nontoxic compound
![Page 17: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Eg: soft chloramine are less corrosive(where the chlorine atom attached to hetero atom) than the conventional chloramines
Eg: chloramine-T is available in salt form so it is less corrosive
![Page 18: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Natural soft drugs:Natural soft drugs:• The endogenous substances can be considerd as
natural soft drugs since the body possesses efficient,fast metabolic pathways for their deposition without going through highly reactive intermediates
• Ex: neurotransmitters, steroidal hormones
![Page 19: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Eg: the use of di esters of adrenalone to deliver the epinephrine the eye via combined reduction and hydrolysis process .
![Page 20: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Soft Drugs based on active metabolite Soft Drugs based on active metabolite approach:approach:
• Some drugs under go step wise biotransformation giving intermediates and structural analogs with which have activity similar to that of the original molecules .
• According to Bodor it is preferable to use as the drug of choice an active species which under goes a one step ,singular, predictable metabolic deactivation.
![Page 21: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Eg: Oxyphenbutazone the active p-hydroxy metabolite of phenylbutazone
• Oxazepam the common active metabolite of chlordiazepoxide, halazepam, chlorazepate and diazepam
![Page 22: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Soft Drugs based on inactive metabolite Soft Drugs based on inactive metabolite approach:approach:
• This is done by three steps
a)Activation stage: chemical modification of a known “inactive metabolite of a drug (by iso sterism ), this metabolite used as a lead compound.
b)Predictable metabolism: design of structure of new soft analog in such a way that its metabolism will yield the starting inactive metabolite in one step without going through toxic intermediate
![Page 23: Soft and hard drugs](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a8dfc01a28ab280d8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
c)Controllable metabolism: control of transport and binding properties as well as rate of metabolism and pharmacokinetics by molecular modification.
• Eg:Chlofenotane, the acidic metabolite “v” which is inactive of relatively low toxicity excreted as water soluble species, it is lead compound for the inactive metabolite approach
• That is the ethylester of clofenotane
