Capecitabine ( INN ) (pronounced /ke?p?sa?t?bi?n/ ) is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers . Capecitabine is a prodrug , that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil in the tumor, where it inhibits DNA synthesis and slows growth of tumor tissue. The activation of capecitabine follows a pathway with three enzymatic steps and two intermediary metabolites, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR) and 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), to form 5-fluorouracil. Capecitabine is marketed under the trade name Xeloda ( Roche ).
