Product Information

5-Phospho-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-1-(5-fluorouracil) (5FUA) is a synthetic compound used in chemotherapy. It is the first of a new type of anticancer agent that inhibits the synthesis of RNA and DNA. 5FUA has been shown to be effective against animal tumors, but it has not been tested for use in humans. 5FUA selectively inhibits the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, which converts ribonucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides. The resulting lack of DNA prevents cell division and leads to cell death.
