fluorouracil and Deficiency, Magnesium

fluorouracil has been researched along with Deficiency, Magnesium in 3 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"5-fluorouracil was given as a continuous infusion."2.68A randomised study to determine whether routine intravenous magnesium supplements are necessary in patients receiving cisplatin chemotherapy with continuous infusion 5-fluorouracil. ( Beveridge, IG; Evans, TR; Harper, CL; Mansi, JL; Wastnage, R, 1995)
" There was no difference in adverse effects or response rate between the two groups."1.46Premedication with intravenous magnesium has a protective effect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
