Fluorouracil (5-FU or f5U) is a pyrimidine analog , which is used as a drug in the treatment of cancer . It belongs to the family of drugs called antimetabolites . It is typically administered with leucovorin .
The chemotherapy agent 5-FU (fluorouracil), which has been in use against cancer for about 40 years, acts in several ways, but principally as a thymidylate synthase inhibitor . Interrupting the action of this enzyme blocks synthesis of the pyrimidine thymidine , which is a nucleotide required for DNA replication . Thymidylate synthase methylates deoxyuridine monophoshate (dUMP) into thymidine monophosphate (dTMP).
