Capecitabine is an oral proagent that converts to its active metabolite, 5-FU, via thymidine phosphorylase. It is an anti-cancer chemotherapy drug, classified as an antimetabolite. Capecitabine is converted into 5′-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5′DFCR), 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5′DFUR), and 5-FU by carboxylesterases (CES1 and 2), cytidine deaminase (CDD), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) in both the liver and tumor. Capecitabine induces a significant cytotoxic effect in vitro only at high concentrations.
