5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a uracil analog and inhibitor of DNA synthesis, exhibiting antitumor activity by affecting pyrimidine synthesis through thymidylate synthase inhibition; it induces apoptosis and autophagy.

5-Fluorouracil (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving 5-Fluorouracil. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a uracil analog, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. 5-Fluorouracil has antitumor activity and affects pyrimidine synthesis through inhibition of thymidylate synthase. 5-Fluorouracil causes apoptosis and autophagy.

5-Fluorouracil-15N2 is a nitrogen-15 labeled form of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a uracil analog (nucleoside antimetabolite/analog) and potent antitumor agent. It hampers pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting thymidylate synthase, depleting the intracellular dTTP pool, inducing apoptosis, acting as a chemotherapeutic sensitizer, inhibiting HIV, and damaging exosome-specific rRNA.

5-Fluorouracil-d1 is the deuterated form of 5-Fluorouracil. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a nucleoside antimetabolite, a uracil analog with potent antitumor properties. It interferes with pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting thymidylate synthase, depleting the intracellular dTTP pool. 5-Fluorouracil induces apoptosis and can be used as a chemosensitizer. Additionally, it inhibits the HIV virus and disrupts exosome-specific rRNA.

5-Fluorouracil-13C,15N2 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 5-flurouracil by GC- or LC-MS. 5-Fluorouracil is a pyrimidine analog that irreversibly inhibits thymidylate synthase, blocking the synthesis of thymidine which is required for DNA synthesis. Intracellular metabolites of 5-fluorouracil exert cytotoxic effects by either inhibiting thymidylate synthetase, or through incorporation into RNA and DNA, ultimately initiating apoptosis.
