Knowledge of the exact dose and rate at which an antitumor agent is delivered to its target site is postulated to be crucial to proper patient management. It is now possible to obtain such information using noninvasive 19 F-NMRS (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) following the administration

We have used in vivo 19F NMR spectroscopy to study the metabolism of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) in tumors with and without pretreatment with methotrexate (MTX). Using the CD8F1 murine mammary tumor as an in vivo model, we observed signals from FUra, alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (F beta ALA), alpha-fluoro-be
Fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance allows direct observation of fluorinated drugs and their metabolites in the human body without background signal from the tissue. A well-known fluorinated chemotherapeutic drug, 5-fluorouracil, and its metabolites were observed noninvasively in the liver of thr
