Fluorobenzotef For Injection

Fluorobenzotef for injection is a cytostatic drug that is used to treat malignant neoplasms in adults. The drug belongs to the cytoxan group and is a derivative of fluorine and benzoic acid.

The main active ingredient in the drug is fluorouracetate.

Fluorouracil is a chemical compound that has the ability to inhibit cell division. One of the properties is a violation of DNA glycosylation, which leads to a break in the DNA chain and stops division.

The mechanism of action of this drug is as follows:

In the patient’s body, fluorouracetate molecules are completely decomposed (hydrolyzed) to form two nucleoside molecules, that is, the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), as well as fluorophores (substances that provide luminescence). Decomposition products bind to cell proteins and amino acids, causing
