Exposure of tumor cells to reduced folates before or with the fluoropyrimidines, 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluoro-2'deoxyuridine, results in a substantial increase in the activity of these drugs. Available evidence suggests that the mechanism of this synergism is a kinetic stabilization of complex formed
## Abstract Schedule dependent inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS) and tumor growth by 5βfluorouracil (FUra) was examined in Yoshida sarcoma (YS) bearing Donryu rats. After implantation of YS cells (1 Γ 10^4^), FUra (20 mg/kg/day) was continuously (group C) or daily bolus injection (group B) ad
