The oral administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is hindered by erratic bioavailability due to catabolism of 5-FU by the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) in the gastrointestinal tract. Eniluracil is a potent inactivator of DPD which results in 100% oral bioavailability of 5-FU. Leucovorin (LV) is another biochemical modulator of 5-FU that potentiates inhibition of thymidylate synthase, the primary target of 5-FU. The goal of this study was to determine the antitumor activity and toxicity of an oral regimen containing eniluracil, 5-FU, and LV in patients with colorectal carcinoma.
