Uridine Triacetate
Uridine triacetate is a prodrug that is cleaved in vivo to release uridine, which competitively inhibits the incorporation of fluorouracil (5-FU) metabolites into RNA and DNA, thereby rescuing normal cells from 5-FU toxicity. It is used as an antidote for 5-FU overdose or early-onset severe toxicity from 5-FU or capecitabine chemotherapy, and is also approved for hereditary orotic aciduria, a rare enzyme deficiency causing abnormal pyrimidine metabolism. Its mechanism of flooding the uridine pool reduces the relative incorporation of toxic 5-FU metabolites.
