Fluorouracil. [Il] freine la mitose cellulaire, prend la place de l'uracile dans les désoxyribonucléotides. Le désoxyribonucléotide du 5-FU inhibe la thymidilate synthétase (TS) empêchant la méthylation de l'acide désoxyridylique en acide thymidylique et interfère donc dans la biosynthèse de l'ADN. 2, record 1, French, - fluorouracile

[...] le fluorouracile est un antimétabolite très utilisé en chimiothérapie anticancéreuse. Il a été développé à partir de l'uracile, base azotée qui entre dans la composition de l'ADN. Un atome de fluor remplace un atome d'hydrogène en position 5, d'où le nom de 5-fluorouracile ou encore 5FU. Le fluorouracile est un antimétabolite qui «mime» l'uracile, précurseur de la thymine, base nécessaire à la synthèse d'ADN et composant des ARN. 1, record 2, French, - 5%2Dfluorouracile
