fluorouracil and Amebiasis, Intestinal

fluorouracil has been researched along with Amebiasis, Intestinal in 2 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

"He experienced amoebic dysentery during World War II some 40 years ago, thus, this case report suggested that amoebiasis relapsed by depressed cellular immunity and was calculated as one of the opportunistic infections."1.28[Amoebic dysentery: a relapsing case by cancer chemotherapy].
