Pharmacokinetics of Fluorouracil in Humans1
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high-pressure liquid chromatography method has been used to investigate the pharmacokinetics of fluorouracil after single i.v. doses to patients. The method is simple and is specific for fluorouracil. No interference was observed in fluorouracil determinations due to other administered medication. Plasma levels of fluorouracil declined rapidly after dosing. The mean half-life was 11.4 min, and drug was essentially cleared from plasma in 1 hr. Individual differences in plasma fluorouracil levels, and also in derived pharmacokinetic constants, were considerably less than those reported previously.

Disposition and Metabolism of 1-(Tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-5-fluorouracil (Ftorafur) in Humans1
The pharmacology of high-dose 1-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)5-fluorouracil (FT) has been studied by radiochemical and Chromatographie techniques in eight patients. Plasma disappearance of FT was exponential, with a half-life of 8.8 hr. Plasma concentrations of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) were sustained at 12.8 nmol/ml (1.7 /¿g/ml) for at least 48 hr after FT administration. The concentrations of FUra deri...

In this work, the electronic properties of BP and CSi Nano cones have been investigated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in water solvent at B3PW91/6-31G (d,p) level of DFT theory for study of for interactions of 5-Fluorouracil Anticancer Drug with theses Nano cones. The percent of change of energy gap (%ΔEg) shows that the complex formation of 5-Fluorouracil with BP ...
متن کاملEffects of carbon nanotubes on properties of the fluorouracil anticancer drug: DFT studies of a CNT-fluorouracil compound
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...

A liposomal delivery system was developed in an attempt to prolong ocular levels of 5-fluorouracil for glaucoma filtering surgery. The pharmacokinetics of the 5-fluorouracil liposomal delivery system were studied in normal pigmented rabbits with 5-fluorouracil labelled with carbon-14 (C-14). 14C 5-fluorouracil was incorporated into the liposomes at a concentration of 10 g/l and injected subconj...
