Pyrimidine analogue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
Pyrimidine analogues are antimetabolites which mimic the structure of metabolic pyrimidines.
Examples[]
- Nucleobase analogues
- Fluorouracil (5FU), which inhibits thymidylate synthase
- Floxuridine (FUDR)
- (6-AU)
- Nucleoside analogues
- Cytarabine (Cytosine arabinoside)
- Gemcitabine
- Nucleotide analogues

Fluorouracil
Gemcitabine
Medical uses[]
Pyrimidine antimetabolites are commonly used to treat cancer by interfering with DNA replication.[1]
