Background:

5,6-dihydro-5-Fluorouracil (5-FUH2) is formed by the hydrogenation of 5-fluorouracil via the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). Formulations containing 5-FU are used for the treatment of cancer. However, in patients lacking full DPD activity, severe adverse events, including death, can occur. 5-FUH2 is less toxic than 5-FU but is not as effective (IC50s = 3.3 and 560 uM for 5-FU and 5-FUH2, respectively in WiDr human colon cancer cells).
