Phosphate and hemiadipate derivatives of cardioprotective flavonols are water soluble prodrugs that
release superoxide scavenging and vasorelaxant parent drugs. These prodrugs protected against
ischaemia/reperfusion injury in two distinct animal models, rat hindlimb and sheep heart, and are thus
promising small molecule therapeutics for cardiovascular disease.
