Biological Activity

[Description]:

5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) is a 5-Fluorouridine prodrug. 5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside can be converted by the enzyme β-D-galactosidase to the potent antineoplastic agent 5-Fluorouridine[1].

[In Vitro]

The ratio of the IC50 of 5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) to that of 5-Fluorouridine determined on a variety of tumor cell lines in vitro ranged from 500:1-1000:1[1].

[In Vivo]

5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) is more than 100x less toxic than 5-Fluorouridine to bone marrow cells in Balb/c mice[1].
