Mechanism of action

FOLFOX is a combination chemotherapy regimen where 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) inhibits thymidylate synthase to disrupt DNA synthesis, leucovorin enhances 5-FU activity by stabilizing its binding to the enzyme, and oxaliplatin is a platinum agent that forms DNA crosslinks. The '1d' designation likely refers to a specific dosing schedule variant of the standard FOLFOX regimen.
