5-Fluorouracil derivatives. XXII. Synthesis and antitumor activities of 1-carbamoyl-5-fluorouracils

Fifty-four 1-carbamoyl-5-fluorouracils were synthesized from 5-fluorouracil and isocyanate or amine. Antitumor activity was tested in the L-1210 tumor system, and 11 compounds gave better values of therapeutic ratio than HCFU (1-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil). 1-(4-Methoxycyclohexylcarbamoyl)-5-fluorouracil gave the best result.
