                                        Comment: Tipracil is a a uracil derivative that inhibits thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP, P19971; a.k.a. platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor), an enzyme which metabolises trifluridine. 
                            
                            
                          
                                
                                    
                                
                          
                                   
                                   
                                  
                                      
                                     
                                   
                                   
                                    
                                    
                                    TAS-102 contains tipracil as the hydrochloride salt (PubChem CID 9903778). SARS-CoV-2: Tipracil has been shown to bind to the uridine-specific endoribonuclease Nsp15 of SARS-CoV-2, and this interaction inhibits the enzyme's uridine-degrading catalytic activity [1].  |
