Function of Capecitabine
Capecitabine is rapidly absorbed through the intestinal mucosa after oral administration, and then converted into an inactive intermediate 5'-deoxy-5'fluorocytidine in the liver by carboxylesterase, and then decellularized by the liver and tumor The action of ammonia enzyme is converted into 5'-deoxy-5 'fluorouridine, and finally catalyzed by thymidine phosphorylase into fluorouracil (5-FU) in tumor tissue.
Clinical studies have shown that the concentration of 5-FU in tumor tissue after oral administration of this product is significantly higher than blood and muscle levels. The curative effect on various animal tumors is significantly higher than that of 5-FU. This product has a synergistic effect with a variety of anti-tumor drugs.
