What does it do?

Urasil is a pyrimidine derivative, a component of nucleic acids, and is used as an antineoplastic agent. It is primarily included in medications to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.

Urasil inhibits the processes involved in DNA and RNA synthesis within cancer cells, thereby suppressing cell division. This results in a reduction in the proliferation of cancer cells and inhibition of tumor growth.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Urasil is a pyrimidine derivative that directly acts on nucleic acid metabolism, unlike other anticancer agents. As a result, it exhibits selective effects on specific types of cancer and can enhance therapeutic effectiveness when used in combination with other anticancer drugs.
