Active Ingredient & Action
Capecitabine is a prodrug that is converted into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the body, which is the active form of the medication. 5-FU works by inhibiting thymidylate synthase, an enzyme necessary for DNA synthesis and cell division. This leads to the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells, while sparing normal cells.
