β tegafur

An orally administered fluoropyrimidine antineoplastic prodrug that is metabolically converted to 5-fluorouracil, primarily through hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes. Its active metabolites inhibit thymidylate synthase, impairing DNA synthesis, and can also be incorporated into RNA and DNA, disrupting nucleic acid function. Tegafur is used mainly in combination formulations such as tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1) and tegafur/uracil (UFT), particularly for the treatment of gastrointestinal and other solid tumors
