fluorouracil and Eclampsia

fluorouracil has been researched along with Eclampsia in 1 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.

Eclampsia: Onset of HYPERREFLEXIA; SEIZURES; or COMA in a previously diagnosed pre-eclamptic patient (PRE-ECLAMPSIA).

"We report the case of a 39-year-old para-4 gravida-4 who received polychemotherapy 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 and epirubicin 50 mg/m2 for invasive breast cancer (pT2N2Mo) with extensive metastatic involvement of all 23 axillary lymph nodes removed at 29 gestational weeks."3.69Eclampsia after polychemotherapy for nodal-positive breast cancer during pregnancy.
