Molecular ions (M+) with small amounts of fragments can be found for these compounds at relatively low photon energies, while more fragment ions would be produced by increasing the photon energies. (M-H2O)+, (base+H)+, (base+2H)+, (base+30)+, (base+60)+, and sugar moiety were proposed for these nucleoside drugs with similar backbones. Decomposition channels for the major fragments were discussed in detail. Moreover, ab initio calculations were introduced to study the dehydration pathways of three fluoro-nucleosides. Corresponding appearance energies for the (M-H2O)+ ions were computed.展开更多

METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with hepatoceilular carcinoma were treated with oral 5'-DFUR for more than 4 d before operation. The contents of 5-FU in plasma, liver and tumor were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and apoptosis of tumor cells was evaluated by in-situ TUNEL after resection of tumor. RESULTS: The concentrations of 5-FU were 1.1 μg/mL, 5.6, 5.9, and 10.5 μg/g in plasma, the liver tissue, the center of tumor and the periphery of tumor, respectively. 5-FU concentration was significantly higher in the periphery of tumor than that in the liver tissue and the center of tumor (10.5±1.6 μg/g vs 5.6±0.8 μg/g, t = 21.38, P<0.05; 10.5±1.6 μg/g vs 5.9±0.9 μg/g, t = 20.07, P<0.05). 5-FU level was significantly lower in plasma than that in the liver and the tumor (1.1±0.3 μg/mL vs 5.6±0.8 μg/g, t = 19.63, P<0.05; 1.1±0.3 μg/mL vs 10.5±1.6 μg/g, t= 41.01, P<0.05). Apoptosis of tumor cells was significantly increased after oral 5'-DFUR compared to the control group without 5-DFUR treatment. CONCLUSION: There is a higher concentration of 5-FU distributed in the tumor compared with liver tissue and apoptosis of tumor cells is increased following oral 5'-DFUR compared with the control group. The results indicate that 5'-DFUR is hopeful as neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to prevent recurrence after resection of hepatoceilular carcinoma.展开更多
