Description (English)
Research Area: Cancer
Biological Activity:
Ftorafur is a substance being used in the treatment of some types of cancer. It is a combination of tegafur and uracil. The tegafur is taken up by the cancer cells and breaks down into 5-FU, a substance that kills tumor cells. The uracil causes higher amounts of 5-FU to stay inside the cells and kill them. Ftorafur is a type of antimetabolite. [1]References on Ftorafur[1] http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/?CdrID=549432, ,
