A novel combination antimetabolite, TAS-102, exhibits antitumor activity in FU-resistant human cancer cells through a mechanism involving FTD incorporation in DNA
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
TAS-102 is a new antimetabolite agent composed of a alpha, alpha, alpha-trifluorothymidine (FTD; 1 M) and thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (TPI; 0.5 M). Here, we investigated the antitumor effect and mechanism of TAS-102 against 5-FU, or FdUrd, resistant human cancer cell lines. The respective tumor growth inhibition rate of orally administered FTD against 5-FU-resistant NUGC-3 was about 70% at a dose level of...
