Eniluracil (5-ethynyluracil, GW 776, 776C85) is a potent irreversible inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the first enzyme in the catabolic pathway of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the most widely used drug in cancer chemotherapy. Eniluracil increases the oral bioavailability of 5-FU to 100%, facilitating uniform absorption and predictable toxicity. Eniluracil was being developed as a novel modulator of 5-FU for the treatment of cancer.
