Alkylating agents are the drugs most commonly used in chemotherapy. These drugs are effective in all phases of the cell cycle. The agent acts directly on alkylate DNA strands, breaking theSections and anomalous forms of power takes place, thus preventing cell division, and the cells die because of this.
Anti-metabolites found in the treatment of chronic conditions, and some cases of leukemia and be useful for a variety of tumors.
Anthracycline drugs derived from natural resources. They work by producing oxygen free radicals associated with DNA strands acts and prevents cell division.
Antitumor antibiotics from the fungus Streptomyces ground won. The company employsoxygen free radicals to stop the DNA strands and prevent cell division. Bleomycin is an antibiotic commonly used anticancer
Monoclonal antibodies, will compete with the tumor specific antigens and thus block the growth of the cell.
Platinum are used, they also give to interfere with DNA and stop the growth of cells. But the setback is to the kidneys, because of the injury are toxic.
