ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
There appears to be two mechanisms of action of fluorouracil which
result in cytotoxic effects.
One is the competitive inhibition of thymidylate synthetase, the
enzyme catalyzing the
methylation of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid. The consequent
thymidine deficiency
results in inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, thus
inducing cell death. A
second mechanism of action is evidenced by the moderate inhibition of
ribonucleic acid (RNA)
and incorporation of fluorouracil into RNA. The predominant mechanism
of antitumour action
appears to be dependent, at least in part, on individual tumour
intracellular metabolism.
The effects of DNA and RNA deprivation are most significant on those
cells which are most
rapidly proliferating.
Following intravenous injection, fluorouracil is cleared rapidly from
the plasma (half-life about
10 to 20 minutes), and distributed throughout body tissues including
the cerebrospinal fluid and
malignant effusions, exhibiting a volume of distribution equivalent to
the total body water.
Plasma concentrations fall below measurable levels within 3 hours.
Oral administration of
fluorouracil has shown marked variability in its bioavailability, from
28% to 100%. Constant
intravenous infusion for 96 hours showed constant plasma drug levels
and significantly less drug
(50 to 1000 fold) in the bone marrow.
Fluorouracil is converted to active nucleotide metabolites,
5-fluorouridine
