Application

5-Fluorouracil has been used to induce apoptosis in cells. It has been used as a chemosensitizing agent.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A potent antitumor agent that affects pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting thymidylate synthetase, thus depleting intracellular dTTP pools. It is metabolized to ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides, which can be incorporated into RNA and DNA. Treatment of cells with 5-FU leads to an accumulation of cells in S-phase and has been shown to induce p53 dependent apoptosis.
