Antimetaboliteja
Antimetabolites are a class of drugs that interfere with the normal metabolic processes of cells, particularly rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells. They work by mimicking or blocking the action of essential metabolites, which are molecules involved in vital cellular functions such as DNA replication and protein synthesis. By disrupting these processes, antimetabolites can halt or slow down the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.
These drugs often target specific pathways crucial for cell division. For example, some antimetabolites are designed
Antimetabolites are a cornerstone of many chemotherapy regimens. Their effectiveness can vary depending on the type
