Capecitabine is an antineoplastic fluoropyrimidine carbamate that is used to treat metastatic breast cancer and colon cancer. It's a systemic prodrug given orally that has minimal pharmacologic activity until it's transformed to fluorouracil by enzymes found in higher doses in various cancers. Fluorouracil then metabolized 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorouridine triphosphate in both normal and malignant cells (FUTP).
