Abstract

The FU-fat conjugates(4a-e) as a prodrug have been synthesized by condensing various fatty acids(1a-e) via isocyanates(2a-e) as carbamoyl group at $N^1-position$ of 5-fluorouracil and their structures characterized. Preliminary testing for their antitumor effect was carried out on leukemia L1210 cells in culture. Most of them(4a-d) like the parent FU exhibited less than 50% inhibition on grouth of the cultrued cells at the concentration of $1\;{\times\;10^{-7}M$. Only a dicarboxylic acid derivative, 4e, showed over 50% inhibition at the same level.
