Biological Activity

Floxuridine is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. Exhibits antiproliferative activity; inhibits thymidylate synthetase and disrupts DNA replication in human cells. Induces double-strand DNA breaks; activates ATR and ATM signaling pathways. Induces phosphorylation of Chk1 and Chk2 in OVCAR-8 and SKOV3ip ovarian cancer cell lines.
