Doxifluridine Capsules

Function and Efficacy

This product is one of the new fluorinated pyrimidine series drugs. As a prodrug of fluorouracil (5-FU), it is converted into free 5-FU by pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase in the body after taking it, thereby exerting its anti-tumor effect. Animal tumor experiments and clinical tests have proved that the content and activity of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase in tumors are significantly higher than those in normal tissues. Therefore, the conversion rate of 5-FU in tumor tissues of this product is also significantly higher than that of normal tissues and organs, in order of cervical cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer. In particular, the concentration of 5-FU in colorectal, gastric and breast cancer tumor tissues is significantly higher than that in normal tissues and plasma, so it can selectively kill tumor cells while causing less damage to normal tissues. It affects DNA and RNA synthesis respectively, mainly acting on the S phase, and also affects cells in other proliferation phases.
