Hey Pink

There is a list somewhere on this board. From your signature, only the "F" passed the blood brain barrier as it is the same active that Xeloda turns into after it passes through the liver. All others are molecularly too large to do so. I will try to find the list that does and doesn't (tamoxifen does)and try to post it.
