Adrucil

The antimetabolites interfere with various metabolic functions of cells, thereby disrupting normal cell functions. They inactivate enzymes or alter the structure of DNA, changing the DNA s ability to replicate These drag are most effective in the treatment of rapidly dividing neoplastic cells. Examples of the antimetabolites include methotrexate and fluorouracil (Adrucil). [Pg.592]

Further studies have validated this hypothesis, in part,4 and ultimately this inventive premise was borne out in clinical practice. As a result, 5-FU (5) was eventually approved for treatment of solid tumors, such as breast, colorectal, and gastric cancers. Marketed as Adrucil when administered intravenously, 5-FU can be used either as monotherapy or combination therapy with various cytotoxic drugs and biochemical modulators, such as leucovorin and methotrexate.5 Because 5-fluorouracil is not orally bioavailable, it must be administered by continuous infusion to optimize its efficacy due to its short half-life in plasma. In addition, 5-FU has poor selectivity toward tumors in vivo, and its distribution into tissues such as bone marrow, the gastrointestinal tract, the liver and skin causes high incidences of toxicity. In addition, in spite of its limited lipid solubility, 5-fluorouracil diffuses readily across the blood-brain barrier into cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue.1,5... [Pg.59]
