Overview

Tegafur-uracil is a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of cancer, primarily bowel cancer. It is also called UFT or UFUR.[1]

UFT is the first generation of DIF(DPD Inhibitory Flouropyrimidine)drug. UFT is an oral agent with combines uracil, a competitive inhibitor of DPD, with the 5-FU prodrug tegafur in a 4:1 molar ratio. Excess uracil competes with 5-FU for DPD, thus inhibiting 5-FU catabolism.
