5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside  (Synonyms: 5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine)

5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) is a 5-Fluorouridine proagent. 5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside can be converted by the enzyme β-D-galactosidase to the potent antineoplastic agent 5-Fluorouridine^[1].

The ratio of the IC₅₀ of 5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) to that of 5-Fluorouridine determined on a variety of tumor cell lines in vitro ranged from 500:1-1000:1^[1].

5-Fluorouridine 5'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5'-O-β-D-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine) is more than 100x less toxic than 5-Fluorouridine to bone marrow cells in Balb/c mice^[1].
