Product Overview:
5-Fluorocytosine (5-FC), a fluorinated pyrimidine analog, is a synthetic antimycotic prodrug that is converted by cytosine deaminase to 5-fluorouracil.{20805} 5-Fluorouracil, a widely used cytotoxic drug, is further metabolized to fluorinated ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides, resulting in the inhibition of DNA and protein synthesis, which has multiple effects including inhibition of Candida species and C. neoformans infections and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells.{20805,20804} In combination with a retroviral replicating vector carrying a cytosine deaminase prodrug-activating gene, 5-FC has been shown to selectively eliminate CT26 and Tu-2449 tumor cells in vitro (IC50s = 4.2 and 1.5 μM, respectively) and to significantly improve survival and reduce tumor size (at a dose of 500 mg/kg) in two different syngeneic mouse glioma models.{20803}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
