Enantioselectivity in the cytochrome P450-dependent conversion of tegafur to 5-fluorouracil in human liver microsomes

Tegafur (FT) is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) used in cancer chemotherapy, and the bioactivation of FT to 5-FU is mainly catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) in hepatic microsomes. FT has a chiral center and is a racemate consisting of the enantiomers, R- and S-FT. In the present study, we clarif...
