The cell cycle
General cytotoxic drugs may be classified according to their relationship to the cell cycle (Figure 13.6).
The cell cycle
General
cytotoxic drugs may be classified according to their relationship to the cell
cycle (Figure 13.6). Cell cycle-spe-cific agents may affect either the S phase
(i.e., DNA syn-thesis) or the M phase (i.e., mitosis). Cell cycle-nonselective
agents may damage the cell throughout the cycle, mostly by direct chemical modification
of the DNA.
