5-Fluorouracil

5-Fluorouracil- How does it act? What is the drug profile?

Parameters Description Category of Drug 5-Fluorouracil is a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor and an Immunosuppressives Drug. Mechanism of Action 1 Deoxyribonucleotide of fluorouracil and the folate cofactor (N5–10-methylenetetrahydrofolate) binds to thymidylate synthase. This forms a covalently bound ternary complex, resulting in the inhibition of the formation of thymidylate. It further leads to the inhibition of DNA

Ondansetron

Ondansetron- What is the molecule profile and popular brands?

Ondansetron is an Antiemetic prescribed for nausea and vomiting. Antiemetics treat motion sickness, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and the side effects of general anesthetics and opioid analgesics. Few medicines act on the chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ (in the brain) by preventing the stimulation. The chemoreceptor trigger zone is a vomiting center. Some medications act as prokinetic
