摘要: Discussed herein are selected oral fluorinated pyrimidines that converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vivo exert antitumor activity. These agents include capecitabine (Xeloda), tegafur-uracil (UFT) plus leucovorin (Orzel), and S-1 (BMS247616). offer the convenience of an orally administered therapy with potentially fewer toxic effects than conventional bolus regimens 5-FU leucovorin. provide prolonged exposure at lower peak concentrations observed intravenous administration may confer pharmacoeconomic advantages by reducing costs toxicity-related hospitalizations. also have potential for improved therapeutic activity achieving higher tumor or biochemically modulating 5-FU. Phase III trials patients advanced colorectal carcinomas comparing these
