Drug Overview
TS-1 (Otsuka/Nordic Group) is an orally available cytotoxic drug that contains gimeracil, oteracil potassium, and tegafur as active ingredients. TS-1 inhibits DNA replication, a process that is crucial for cell proliferation and tumor growth. Tegafur is a prodrug that is converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the body, which is an irreversible inhibitor of thymidylate synthase, an enzyme that is essential for DNA replication. Gimeracil enhances the anti-tumor effects of 5-FU by preventing its degradation within cells. Oteracil potassium reduces the serious gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity caused by 5-FU by inhibiting the phosphorylation of 5-FU in the GI tract.
