Thymineless Death by the Fluoropyrimidine Polymer F10 Involves Replication Fork Collapse and Is Enhanced by Chk1 Inhibition

We are developing the fluoropyrimidine polymer F10 to overcome limitations of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) that result from inefficient metabolism to 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine-5′-mono- and tri-phosphate, the deoxyribonucleotide metabolites that are responsible for 5-FU's anticancer activity. F10 is muc...
