Apollo Scientific™ Flucytosine is a high-purity fluorinated pyrimidine antifungal agent widely used in pharmaceutical research, antifungal susceptibility studies, and combination therapy investigations. Unlike azoles and echinocandins, flucytosine acts as a nucleic acid synthesis inhibitor, interfering with fungal DNA and RNA synthesis after intracellular conversion to 5-fluorouracil.
This well-characterized compound is frequently employed in synergy studies with amphotericin B and serves as an important reference material in mechanistic and resistance research.
