General description

5-Fluorouridine (FUrd) is a fluoropyrimidine nucleoside analog[1] and a cell-permeable modified RNA precursor.[2]

Application

5-Fluorouridine has been used for labeling active transcription sites in the porcine fetal fibroblasts[2] and human cell lines for immunocytochemistry analysis.[3] It has also been used to monitor apoptosis during drug sensitivity assay in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Fluorouridine (FUrd) is cytotoxic towards cancer cells.[1] FUrd is often used in chemical and biochemical comparison studies with fluorouracil and thymine analogs.
