API Description: Tegafur is an anti-cancer prodrug used to treat various cancers, most commonly colorectal cancer and stomach cancer, often in combination with uracil (as the drug Tegafur+Uracil or UFT) and calcium folinate to enhance its effectiveness and reduce side effects. It works by converting to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which interferes with the growth of cancer cells by disrupting their DNA and RNA synthesis.
