Introduction
A prodrug is a pharmacological substance (drug) that is administered in an inactive (or significantly less active) form. Once administered, the prodrug is metabolised in vivo into an active metabolite (Wadhwa LK, 1994). Almost all drugs possess some undesirable physiochemical and biological properties. Their therapeutic efficacy can be improved by minimizing or eliminating the undesirable properties while retaining the desirable ones.  This can be achieved through biological, physical or chemical means (Loe A, 1971, Balant LP, E Doelker, et al., 1990, Jha V, 1995).

• The biological approach is to alter the route of administration, which may or may not be acceptable to the patient.
  

• The physical approach is to modify the design of the dosage form such as controlled delivery of drugs.
  

• The chemical approach is the best approach in enhancing drug selectivity and minimizing the toxicity.
