This paper describes a relatively simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic assay (HPLC) with ultraviolet absorbance detection for 5-fluorouracil (5-FUra) and its two main metabolites, 5-fluorouridine (5-FUrd) and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (5-FdUrd), in plasma. In this study, two plasma clean-up procedures involving
