Capecitabine
Capecitabine is an orally administered antimetabolite prodrug that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) within tumor cells. Its active metabolites, FdUMP and FUTP, inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis, respectively, making it a key tool for in vitro and in vivo cancer research, particularly in studies of colorectal, breast, and gastric malignancies.
