5-Fluoroorotic acid is a fluorinated derivative of the pyrimidine precursor orotic acid. 5-Fluoroorotic acid exert considerable antitumor activity against transplanted tumors in rats and mice. 5-Fluoroorotate shows increased cytotoxicity on ovarian carcinoma cell lines following encapsulation in liposomes. 5-Fluoroorotic acid is used in vitro in the positive selection of genetically transformed yeast cells.
