| 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.
