Some cells, and in particular cancer cells, may be resistant to 5-fluorouracil. Please see this paper Huanwen, W., et al., Molecular Cancer, 8, 125 (2009) which addresses this observation, as well as references 16 and 30 in this publication.If the cells are treated with the closely related gemcitabine (Sigma-Aldrich Product G6423), and cell growth is not inhibited by that drug either, you will have shown that the "problem" is with the cell line, and not with the drug(s).

Description générale
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.
Fluorouracil, an analog of the pyrimidines, belongs to the class of antimetabolite drugs. It is generally utilized for the remediation of tumors such as breast adenocarcinoma, gastrointestinal tract, ovary, head and neck.[1]
Fluorouracil, an analog of the pyrimidines, belongs to the class of antimetabolite drugs. It is generally utilized for the remediation of tumors such as breast adenocarcinoma, gastrointestinal tract, ovary, head and neck.[1]
Application
Fluorouracil may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by different analytical techniques.[2][3]
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Remarque sur l'analyse
These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.
Autres remarques
This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.

Do you have 5-FU (5-Fluorouracil) for injection? If not, how can I prepare it from the powder?
1 answer-
Sigma-Aldrich lists several fluorouracil products, but we do not offer Fluorouracil for injection. Our 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) products cannot be given to human patients. (Note that although Product F8423 meets USP testing specifications, it is not a pharmaceutical grade or PharmaGrade product.)Having said that, a solution for injection into research animals could be prepared the same way as the Fluorouracil Injection, USP is. According to the drugs.com, "Fluorouracil Injection, USP, an antineoplastic anti-metabolite, is a colorless to yellow aqueous sterile, nonpyrogenic injectable solution for intravenous administration. Each mL contains: 50 mg fluorouracil; pH is adjusted to 8.6 to 9.4 with sodium hydroxide".
