ObjectiveTo investigate the lymphatic targeting of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) carbon nanoparticles in rats. Methods5-FU concentration in lymphoid tissue of rats was determined by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography after intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU carbon nanoparticle and 5-FU ordinary form (20 mg/kg body weight). Results5-FU concentration of lymphoid tissue in the 5-FU carbon nanoparticle group was higher than that in the 5-FU ordinary form group, and could sustain a longer time. Conclusion5-FU carbon nanoparticles injection can improve the drug concentration of target lymphatic organs, also has a good lymphatic targeting
