5-Fluorouracil (Standard) is the analytical standard of 5-Fluorouracil, an analogue of uracil and a potent antitumor agent. It is intended for research and analytical applications. 5-Fluorouracil affects pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting thymidylate synthetase, leading to depleted dTTP pools. It induces apoptosis, acts as a chemical sensitizer, and inhibits HIV.
