Pharmacological action of

Pharmacodynamics

Antitumor drug, the effect of which is due to impaired synthesis of DNA and RNA. Fluorouracil resulting from hydrolysis inhibits the enzyme thymidylate synthetase and DNA synthesis, is introduced into the RNA structure instead of uracil, making it defective, and inhibits cell proliferation.

In tumor cells, it is converted to 5-fluoro-deoxyuridine-5-monophosphate, which is then phosphorylated to triphosphate and incorporated into RNA, and phloxuridine monophosphate, which inhibits thymidylate synthetase. Less toxic and better tolerated by patients than 5-fluorouracil.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

When taken orally, tegafur is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is detected in the blood for at least 24 hours after a single use. Cmax tegafur in plasma is reached within 4-6 hours after administration. Bioavailability is almost complete.

Distribution

It has high lipophilicity (200 times higher than fluorouracil), while remaining a water-soluble compound. High lipophilicity ensures rapid passage through biological membranes, distribution in the body and penetration through the BBB.

Metabolism

Metabolized in the liver with the formation of metabolites, among which the pharmacologically active 5-fluorouracil occupies a central place. Bioactivation is carried out not only in the liver, but it may also be local in tumor tissue, characterized by a high content of cytosolic hydrolytic enzymes.
