Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Acid ceramidase
In vitro
Carmofur is one of the masked compounds of 5-FU, which was modified for more potent antineoplastic activity and less toxicity. It is converted in vivo into 5-FU directly or via intermetabolites, such as 1-(carboxypentylcarbamoyl)-5-fluorouracil and/or 1-(carboxypropylcarbomoyl)-5-fluorouraci. This compound and its metabolites gradually accumulate in the brain during continuous administration and are removed very slowly. It has potent neurotoxicity which can produce severe leucoencephalopathy resembling methotrexate leucoencephalopathy both clinically and on brain CT, together with a cerebellar syndrome similar to that following 5-FU neurotoxicity.
In vivo
Carmofur or 5-FU together with Nicardipine, a Ca2+ antagonist, causes a higher level of the FU in tumor tissue and potentiation of an antitumor effect on human gastric cancer transplanted into nude mice. This compound exerts almost the same growth-inhibitory effects on both tumors in therapeutic experiments using nude mice bearing parent or subcutaneously transplanted 5-FU-resistant DLD-1 cells.
