    10-Methyl-aplog-1 (10MA-1), a simplified analog of aplysiatoxin, exhibits a high binding affinity for protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes with minimal tumor-promoting and pro-inflammatory activities. A recent study suggests that 10MA-1 could reactivate latent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro for HIV eradication strategy. However, further in vivo studies were abandoned by a dose limit caused by the minimal water solubility of 10MA-1. To overcome this problem, we synthesized a phosphate ester of 10MA-1, 18-O-phospho-10-methyl-aplog-1 (phos-10MA-1), to improve water solubility for in vivo studies. The solubility, PKC binding affinity, and biological activity of phos-10MA-1 were examined in vitro, and the biological activity was comparable with 10MA-1. The pharmacokinetic studies in vivo were also examined, which suggest that further optimization for improving metabolic stability is required in the future.
