Excretion of 1-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil in urine of mice. 1981

M Iigo, and A Nakamura, and K Kuretani, and A Hoshi

Excretion and metabolites in urine and feces of mice after oral administration of l-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil-6-14C (14C-HCFU) or 5-fluorouracil-6-14C (14C-FU) were examined. After oral administration, about 90% of 14C-HCFU was excreted in urine within 48 h but not in feces. Major radioactive compounds in urine were 1-(3-carboxypropylcarbamoyl)-5-fluorouracil (CPRFU), FU, 5, 6-dihydro-5-fluorouracil (DHFU) and alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (FBAL). Excretion ratio of these metabolites within 48 h was 13.5, 32.5, 20.2 and 23.9%, respectively, CPRFU and FU were rapidly excreted in urine after 14C-HCFU administration followed by DHFU and FBAL. Excretion of the latter two degradation products of FU was slower. On the other hand, major metabolites in urine after 14C-FU administration were DHFU and FBAL, but intact FU was slightly excreted. Excretion ratio of FU, DHFU and FBAL within 48 h was 4.8, 58.1 and 28.2%, respectively.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015091	beta-Alanine	An amino acid formed in vivo by the degradation of dihydrouracil and carnosine. Since neuronal uptake and neuronal receptor sensitivity to beta-alanine have been demonstrated, the compound may be a false transmitter replacing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID. A rare genetic disorder, hyper-beta-alaninemia, has been reported.	3-Aminopropionic Acid,beta-Alanine Hydrochloride,beta-Alanine, Calcium Salt (2:1),beta-Alanine, Monopotassium Salt,beta-Alanine, Monosodium Salt,3 Aminopropionic Acid,Hydrochloride, beta-Alanine,beta Alanine,beta Alanine Hydrochloride,beta Alanine, Monopotassium Salt,beta Alanine, Monosodium Salt
