http://linked.open...mechanismOfAction
  • Although the exact mode of action is unknown, it has been proposed that flucytosine acts directly on fungal organisms by competitive inhibition of purine and pyrimidine uptake and indirectly by intracellular metabolism to 5-fluorouracil. Flucytosine enters the fungal cell via cytosine permease; thus, flucytosine is metabolized to 5-fluorouracil within fungal organisms. The 5-fluorouracil is extensively incorporated into fungal RNA and inhibits synthesis of both DNA and RNA. The result is unbalanced growth and death of the fungal organism. It also appears to be an inhibitor of fungal thymidylate synthase. (en)

http://linked.open...outeOfElimination
  • Flucytosine is excreted via the kidneys by means of glomerular filtration without significant tubular reabsorption. A small portion of the dose is excreted in the feces. (en)
