Abstract excerpt
AIM: Tegafur is primarily converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by CYP2A6 in the human liver to exert its antitumor effect. Our objective was to comprehensively investigate the effects of CYP2A6 genetic polymorphisms on tegafur bioactivation activity. MATERIALS & METHODS: Using a set of over 45 Chinese livers, the association between CYP2A6 genetic variations and 5-FU formation rates from tegafur, as well as CYP2A6...
