1 5-Fluorocytosine combined with Fcy-hEGF fusion protein targets EGFR-expressing cancer cells. Flucytosine epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
2 Here, we adopted a prodrug system that uses 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) and human EGF (hEGF) fused with yeast cytosine deaminase (Fcy) to target EGFR-overexpressing cancer cells and to convert 5-FC to a significantly more toxic chemotherapeutic, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
