Brequinar is a synthetic quinolinecarboxylic acid analogue with antineoplastic properties. Brequinar inhibits the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, thereby blocking de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. This agent may also enhance the in vivo antitumor effect of antineoplastic agents such as 5-FU. Brequinar had been in phase II clinical trials by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of cancer and transplant rejection. However, this research has been discontinued.
Brequinar had been also in preclinical studys for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infections. However, this research has been discontinued.
