| Bioactivity | Floxuridine (5-Fluorouracil 2'-deoxyriboside) is a pyrimidine analog and known as an oncology antimetabolite. Floxuridine inhibits Poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase and induces DNA damage by activating the ATM and ATR checkpoint signaling pathways in vitro. Floxuridine is a extreamly potent inhibitor for S. aureus infection and induces cell apoptosis[1][2]. Floxuridine has antiviral effects against HSV and CMV[3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Floxuridine (0-25 μM; 4-24 hours) is affectd by inhibitors of PARP and its sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells is enhanced. Co-exposed to FdUrd and the PARP inhibitor markedly increases killing cell numbers when its compare to treatment alone in ovarian cancer cells[1].Floxuridine (300 μM; 4-24 hours) increases p-Chk1 and p-Chk2 in ovarian cancer cell lines. It may induce DNA damage and activate the ATM and ATR checkpoint signaling pathways[1].Floxuridine (0-2.5 μM; 24 hours) causes a G1/S-phase arrest and following removal of the FdUrd, the G1/S-phase-arrested cells moved synchronously through S phase and into G2/M[1].Floxuridine is against Mueller Hinton Broth and Tryptic Soy Broth with MIC values of 0.25 μM and 0.81 μM, respectively. It also reported to be a very potent inhibitor of staphylococcal growth (MIC, 0.025–0.00313 μM)[2]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
