前药

Prodrugs, like ibuprofen, are inactive compounds that become active in the body after undergoing a chemical transformation.
具有活性前体性质的药物（如布洛芬）是无活性化合物，在体内经过化学转化后才变得活跃。
The development of prodrugs is a strategy used by chemists to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs.
化学家通过研发前药策略来改进药物的药代动力学特性。
Acetylsalicylic acid is a prodrug of aspirin, which releases its anti-inflammatory effects once inside the body.
阿司匹林的活性前体是乙酰水杨酸，它在体内释放抗炎作用。
Prodrugs can be designed to target specific tissues or organs, making them more effective and selective.
可以设计前药来靶向特定组织或器官，使其更具效果和选择性。
The conversion of a prodrug into its active form often occurs through enzymatic cleavage.
前药转化为活性形式的过程通常通过酶解完成。
Prodrugs are particularly useful for drugs with poor oral bioavailability, as they can improve absorption and stability.
对于口服生物利用度低的药物，前药特别有用，因为它们可以改善吸收和稳定性。
Some chemotherapy drugs are administered as prodrugs to minimize side effects on healthy cells.
一些化疗药物作为前药给药，以减少对健康细胞的副作用。
Prodrugs can also help overcome drug resistance in bacteria or cancer cells by altering their pharmacodynamics.
前药还能通过改变药效动力学来克服细菌或癌细胞的耐药性。
The activation of a prodrug can occur naturally or be induced by specific enzymes or conditions in the body.
前药的激活可以在体内自然发生，或者在特定酶或条件下诱导进行。
The study of prodrugs has led to the discovery of new pain relief medications with improved efficacy and reduced toxicity.
前药的研究已经导致了新型疼痛缓解药物的发现，这些药物具有更好的疗效和更低的毒性。
