Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Gimeracil (103766-25-2) is a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor.? DPD is involved in the degradation of pyrimidine-based chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).? Gimeracil is used along with 5-FU or Tegafur to prolong circulating concentrations of the drugs.1,2? Gimeracil has also been shown to act as a radiosensitizer via inhibition of homologous recombination in the repair of DNA double strand breaks.3 | [Chemical Properties]
