    Fluorouracil (5-FU, 5-fluorouracil), sold under the brand name Adrucil among others, is a cytotoxic chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer. [3] By intravenous injection it is used for treatment of colorectal cancer , oesophageal cancer , stomach cancer , pancreatic cancer , breast cancer , and cervical cancer . [ 3 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegafur

    Tegafur is a chemotherapeutic prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) used in the treatment of cancers. It is a component of the combination drug tegafur/uracil. When metabolised, it becomes 5-FU. [1] It was patented in 1967 and approved for medical use in 1972. [2]

  5. 5-Fluoroorotic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Fluoroorotic_Acid

    5-Fluoroorotic acid (5FOA) is a fluorinated derivative of the pyrimidine precursor orotic acid. It is used in yeast genetics to select for the absence of the URA3 gene, which encodes the enzyme for the decarboxylation of 5-fluoroorotic acid to 5-fluorouracil , a toxic metabolite. [ 1 ]

  6. Equivalent concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_concentration

    Since only 0.5 mol of H 2 SO 4 are needed to neutralize 1 mol of OH −, the equivalence factor is: f eq (H 2 SO 4) = 0.5. If the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution is c(H 2 SO 4) = 1 mol/L, then its normality is 2 N. It can also be called a "2 normal" solution.

  7. Fixture unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_unit

    The relationship between gallons per minute (gpm) and fixture unit is not constant, but varies with the number of fixture units. For example, 1000 FU is equivalent to 220 US gallons per minute (0.014 m 3 /s) while 2000 FU represents only 330 US gallons per minute (0.021 m 3 /s), about 1.5 times the flow rate.

  8. CMF (chemotherapy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMF_(chemotherapy)

    The treatment is administered over a four-week cycle. On days 1 and 8 methotrexate and 5-FU are given as injections. Cyclophosphamide may be also administered intravenously in conjunction with these drugs, or may be taken as an oral tablet, taken once each day for the first 14 days of each cycle. [3]

  9. Floxuridine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floxuridine

    Floxuridine is rapidly catabolized to 5-fluorouracil, which is the active form of the drug. The primary effect is interference with DNA synthesis and to a lesser extent, inhibition of RNA formation through the drug's incorporation into RNA , thus leading to the production of fraudulent RNA.
