Flucytosine also known as 5-Fluorocytosine (5-FC) is a fluorinated pyrimidine analogue with antifungal properties It exerts its biological activity by penetrating fungal cells and undergoing intracellular conversion into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) via cytosine deaminase Subsequently 5-FU metabolites inhibit nucleic acid synthesis interfering with fungal RNA and DNA synthesis pathways thus blocking cellular proliferation In laboratory experiments Flucytosine is commonly utilized for antifungal susceptibility assays fungal growth inhibition studies as well as research into antifungal resistance mechanisms The typical reported in vitro antifungal activity displays IC50 values ranging from approximately 0 12 to 8 g/mL depending on fungal species and experimental conditions
