5,6-Dihydrothymine is a metabolic precursor to thymine. It has been shown to inhibit the production of DNA and RNA in cells, which causes cellular transformation. 5,6-Dihydrothymine also inhibits enzyme activity by competing with substrates or by forming covalent bonds with the enzyme. This drug has been found to be genotoxic and may cause cancer, but it can also be used for diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced genetic damage. The drug is an oral prodrug that is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to release thymine. 5,6-Dihydrothymine is used for molecular pathogenesis studies on solid tumours, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.
