5-Fluorodihydropyrimidine-2,4-dione is a chemical compound that functions as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). This inhibition leads to the disruption of the catabolism of pyrimidine, ultimately resulting in the accumulation of toxic metabolites within the cell. 5-Fluorodihydropyrimidine-2,4-dione interferes with the normal cellular processes and induces cytotoxic effects. 5-Fluorodihydropyrimidine-2,4-dione exerts its mechanism of action by binding to the active site of DPD, thereby preventing the enzyme from carrying out its catalytic function. This disruption in the enzymatic activity leads to the accumulation of 5-fluorouracil, a metabolite that is toxic to the cell.
