Bio Chemical Notes
Flucytosine is used in treatment of infections caused by Candida (septicemia, endocarditis and urinary system infections) and Cryptococcus (meningitis and pulmonary infections). It inhibits synthesis of both DNA and RNA by competitive inhibition of purine and pyrimidine uptake. Ref: J. Antimicrob. Chemother. 2000; 46 (2), 171-179.
