| | Gimeracil Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Gimeracil (103766-25-2) is a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor.? DPD is involved in the degradation of pyrimidine-based chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).? Gimeracil is used along with 5-FU or Tegafur to prolong circulating concentrations of the drugs.1,2? Gimeracil has also been shown to act as a radiosensitizer via inhibition of homologous recombination in the repair of DNA double strand breaks.3 | | Chemical Properties | Off-White Solid | | Uses | Gimeracil is an inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, which inhibits the early step in homologous recombination for double strand breaks repair. | | Uses | Gimeracil is an antitumor agent. Gimeracil is a potent inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). | | Uses | Antitumor agent. A potent inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) | | Definition | ChEBI: Gimeracil is an organic molecular entity. | | References | 1) Diasio (1999)?Clinical implications of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibition; Oncology(Williston Park),?13?17
