Biological Activity

Description Carmofur (HCFU) is a highly potent acid ceramidase inhibitor, used in the treatment of breast and colorectal cancer.
Targets
Acid ceramidase [1]
In vitro
In vitro Carmofur is one of the masked compounds of 5-FU, which was modified for more potent antineoplastic activity and less toxicity. Carmofur is converted in vivo into 5-FU directly or via intermetabolites, such as 1-(carboxypentylcarbamoyl)-5-fluorouracil and/or 1-(carboxypropylcarbomoyl)-5-fluorouraci. Carmofur and its metabolites gradually accumulate in the brain during continuous administration and are removed very slowly. Carmofur 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. [1]
In Vivo
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. [2] Carmofur 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. [3]

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
