5-Chlorouracil Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
5-Chlorouracil (5-CU) may have advantages for the inhibition of undesired fibroblast proliferation taking place after surgery for glaucoma and results in filtration failure. A comparison of 5-CU and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cytotoxicity shows that 5-CU is approximately 1000 times less toxic to nonproliferative cells while maintaining good antimitotic activity. In addition, 5-CU induces apoptotic-controlled cell death, whereas the influence of 5-FU is by apoptonecrosis. The 5-CU apoptotic mechanism is driven mainly by the nuclear translocation of AIF and activation of the LEI/L-DNase II pathways, which are caspase-independent. In conclusion, even though 5-CU is a weaker antiproliferating agent than 5-FU, its reduced toxic side effects on the epithelium and sclera allow for its enhanced efficacy and extended reduction of IOP after filtering surgery for glaucoma. 5-CU is an effective mutagen, clastogen and toxicant, and an effective inducer of sister-chromatid exchange, and is not as sensitive to ionizing radiation as other thymine analogues[1].
Chemical Properties
white to light beige crystalline powder
Uses
5-Chlorouracil was used as a control in resazurin-based cytotoxicity assay for screening of cytotoxicity in hepatocytes and liver cell lines.
Uses
5-Chlorouracil can be used for the experimental and clinical treatment of neoplastic and viral diseases.
Definition
ChEBI: An organochlorine compound consisting of uracil having an chloro substituent at the 5-position. It is functionally related to a uracil.
General Description
The shape resonance spectra of 5-chlorouracil, obtained from fixed-nuclei elastic scattering calculations by the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials, was studied.
Purification Methods
It recrystallises from hot H2O (4g/500mL) using charcoal. [McOmie et al. J Chem Soc 3478 1955, West & Barrett J Am Chem Soc 76 3146 1954, Beilstein 24 III/IV 1231.]
