Overview

This is a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of leucovorin (folinic acid), oxaliplatin, and tegafur-uracil (UFT). Tegafur is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) that is converted in the liver to active 5-FU, which inhibits thymidylate synthase and disrupts DNA synthesis. Uracil acts as a competitive inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, increasing the bioavailability and efficacy of 5-FU. Leucovorin enhances the binding of 5-FU to thymidylate synthase, further potentiating its antitumor effect. Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent that forms DNA crosslinks, inhibiting DNA replication and transcription. This combination is primarily used as adjuvant or palliative therapy for colorectal cancer[1][2].
