The influence of degradable starch microspheres on liver uptake of 5-fluorouracil after hepatic artery injection in the rat. 1986

H Teder, and K F Aronsen, and S Björkman, and B Lindell, and J Ljungberg

The effect of degradable starch microspheres (DSM) on the distribution of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) after hepatic artery injection was studied in normal rats. Carbon-14-labelled 5-FU was injected separately or together with DSM into the hepatic artery. Radioactivity was measured in liver tissue, bile, peripheral blood, and urine. When microspheres were added, the liver uptake of 5-FU was increased; its peak concentration in peripheral blood decreased, as did the early urinary excretion of radioactivity. The addition of degradable starch microspheres to hepatic artery injections of cytostatic drugs might be of value in increasing the drug concentration in tumour tissue and reducing systemic toxicity.
