5-Fluorouracil History

 Fluorouracil (CAS NO.51-21-8) was synthesized by Robert Duschinsky in the late 1950s.

5-Fluorouracil Uses

 Fluorouracil (CAS NO.51-21-8) can be used in against cancer for about 40 years, acts in several ways, but principally as a thymidylate synthase inhibitor. It can be used in colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer,also it can be used for treating actinic (solar) keratoses and some types of basal cell carcinomas of the skin.
