Biological Activity
5-Fluoroorotic acid monohydrate (1 mg/mL, 4-7 days) inhibits thymidylate synthase, selectively inhibits the growth of Ura+ cells with the presence of UMP synthase, and can be used for screening of Ura- mutated yeast (such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae)[1][3].
5-Fluoroorotic acid monohydrate (1 nM-100 μM, 48 h) exhibits antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 of 6.0 nM. 5-Fluoroorotic acid monohydrate exhibits relatively lower cytotoxicity in mammalian cell HT-1080 with an IC50 of 10 μM[4][5].
