Anti-metabolite agents that affect nucleotide metabolism are frontline chemotherapy agents in several cancers and often successfully target one carbon metabolism. However, the precise mechanisms and resulting determinants of their therapeutic value are unknown. We show that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a commonly used anti-metabolite therapeutic with varying efficacy, induces specific alterations to nucleotide metabolism by disrupting pyrimidine homeostasis. An integrative metabolomics analysis of the cellular response to 5-FU shows intracellular uracil accumulation, while deoxyuridine levels exhibited increased flux into the extracellular space resulting in an induction of overflow metabolism. Subsequent analysis from mice bearing colorectal tumors treated with 5-FU, show specific secretion of metabolites in tumor-bearing mice into serum that results from alterations in nucleotide flux and reduction in overflow metabolism. Together these findings identify a determinant of an anti-metabolite response that may be exploited to more precisely define the tumors that could respond to targeting cancer metabolism.
