Overview

This drug combination consists of four components: 1. **Cyclophosphamide**: An alkylating agent that works by interfering with DNA replication and RNA transcription. 2. **Doxorubicin**: An anthracycline antibiotic that intercalates between DNA base pairs and inhibits topoisomerase II. 3. **Ftorafur (Tegafur)**: A prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which is a pyrimidine analog that inhibits thymidylate synthase and disrupts RNA function. 4. **Tamoxifen**: A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that competitively binds to estrogen receptors. This combination has been studied primarily for advanced and recurrent breast cancer, with clinical trials showing response rates of approximately 58% in some studies[2][3]. The regimen was designed to provide high antitumor effect with relatively manageable adverse reactions.
