5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a non-selective thymidylate synthase (TS) and DHFR inhibitor. It affects PI3K/AKT/mTOR, p53, and NF-κB signaling pathways, by forming an inactive ternary complex with TS and incorporating into nucleic acids, inhibiting DNA synthesis and promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
