Target snapshot
Trifluridine and Tipiracil (Trifluridine and Tipiracil) — Amgen. Trifluridine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits thymidylate synthase and gets incorporated into DNA to damage cancer cells, while tipiracil is a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor that enhances trifluridine bioavailability.
