Oxonic Acid

A triazine derivative that inhibits certain metabolic enzymes. As its potassium salt (oteracil) it is part of an oral anticancer combination with tegafur and gimeracil, approved in Europe in 2011, in which it stays in the gut and reduces side effects. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
