FUDR

FUDR, or 5-Fluorodeoxyuridine, is an antiproliferative agent shown to have work against a variety of neoplasms. It inhibits DNA synthesis by prior inhibition of thymidylate synthetase, and has been prescribed as a treatment for several liver and colon cancers.

FUDR can be a powerful cancer treatment when combined with Mitomycin C and 5-Fluorouracil. Floxuridine is soluble in aqueous solutions up to 50 mg/mL.
