Application

Tegafur has been used as an internal standard for the analysis of 5′DFCR (5′deoxyfluorocytidine) and 5′DFUR (5′deoxyfluorouridine) using HPLC techniques[1]. Tegafur has also been used as an internal standard for the chromatographic assay of azidothymidine (AZT)[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tegafur is a pro-drug of 5-fluorouracil, an antimetabolite used as an antineoplastic agent. It has been used as adjuvant chemotherapy for curatively resected colorectal cancer therapy.
