Description

5-Fluoro-1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)uracil (5FU) is an oral prodrug that is converted to 5-fluorouracil in the body. 5FU has been shown to be a chemotherapeutic agent, which inhibits cancer cell growth by inhibiting DNA synthesis and RNA synthesis. It also induces apoptosis in cancer cells and has synergistic effects with other drugs such as tegafur, which inhibits the enzyme uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucuronosyltransferase. This combination therapy group has been shown to be effective against tumors of the colon, breast, and head and neck.
