Bioactivity | 5-Fluorouridine, a metabolite of 5-fluorouracil (HY-90006), is a potent ribozyme self-cleavage inhibitor. 5-Fluorouridine incorporates into both total and poly A RNA and has antiproliferative activity. 5-Fluorouridine induces apoptosis[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | 5-Fluorouridine (167 μM; 24-96 h) inhibits MKN45 cells and MKN28 cells in a time-dependent manner[1].5-Fluorouridine (10 μM; 24 h; HCT-116 cells) induces apoptosis and increases the percentage of apoptotic cells. 5-Fluorouridine upregulates the expression of 33 genes, including a group of genes as growth factors, cytokines and chemokines (e.g. IL-3, IL -4, B-cell growth factor 1 and stem cell growth factor)[2].5-Fluorouridine (10 μM; 8-24 h; HCT-116 cells) incorporates into both total and poly A RNA[2]. |
