NUC-3373 is a potent cancel stem cell inhibitor. NUC-3373 has preferential cytotoxic effects on leukemic stem cells (LSCs). In vitro data confirmed that NUC-3373 exerts its cytotoxic activity independently of thymidine kinase in TK-deficient tumor cell lines, and it is resistant to degradative action by catabolic enzymes including TP and DPD.19 In addition, NUC-3373 was found to generate 366- fold higher intracellular levels of the active monophosphate form, FdUMP, in the human colorectal cancer cell line HT29 compared with 5-FU and achieved significantly greater tumor volume reduction than 5-FU in HT29 xenograft studies.
