What is 5-Fluorouridine ?

Description

5-Fluorouridine (316-46-1) is an inhibitor of ribozyme self-cleavage in mammalian cells.1? Induces apoptosis in HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma cells causing diverse gene expression patterns suggesting that mechanisms besides global inhibition of RNA synthesis and processing contribute to 5-fluorouridine cytotoxicity.2 Cell permeable and active in vivo.
