Product Overview:
5-Fluorouracil (Item No. 14416) is a pyrimidine analog that irreversibly inhibits thymidylate synthase, blocking the synthesis of thymidine, which is required for DNA synthesis. It has been widely used to treat many gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinomas with mixed clinical efficacy.{22957} Gimeracil is an inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the rate limiting enzyme for the catabolism of pyrimidines, including 5-fluorouracil. It has been administered concomitantly with 5-fluorouracil in a chemotherapy regimen termed S-1 to block 5-fluorouracil degradation, thus prolonging circulating 5-fluorouracil concentrations.{27082} Furthermore, at 1 mM gimeracil has been shown to inhibit homologous recombination in the repair of DNA double strand breaks, which can sensitize cancer cells to radiotherapy.{27083}

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.
