Trifluridine
A fluorinated analogue of thymidine, one of the building blocks of DNA: approved in 1980 as eye drops against herpes keratitis, today it is also taken by mouth, together with tipiracil, for metastatic colorectal and gastric cancer. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?It looks so much like thymidine that viruses and cancer cells build it into their own DNA, but its group of three fluorine atoms prevents correct base pairing and blocks replication.
