Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is first converted into 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine nucleotide in the body, which inhibits thymine nucleotide synthetase, blocking the conversion of deoxyuridine nucleotide into deoxythymine nucleotide, thereby inhibiting DNA biosynthesis. In addition, by preventing uracil and orotic acid from incorporating into RNA, the effect of inhibiting RNA synthesis is achieved. This product is a cell cycle-specific drug that mainly inhibits S-phase cells.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
