Check the Tegafur (FT-207) product page for in-depth specifications, including solubility, stock solutions, MOA, and working concentrations.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Tegafur functions as a fluoropyrimidine prodrug that metabolizes intracellularly into 5-fluorouracil, which subsequently inhibits thymidylate synthase and impedes DNA replication. By disrupting pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis and triggering apoptotic cell death, tegafur effectively suppresses tumor cell growth in solid malignancies such as gastric, colorectal, and breast cancers.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
