DNA Synthesis Inhibitor

Molecular classification
Enzyme Inhibitor, Antimetabolite, Alkylating Agent
01

Overview

DNA synthesis inhibitors are a broad class of molecules that interfere with the replication and repair of DNA, thereby preventing cell division and proliferation. These agents are used as antimicrobials (antibacterials, antivirals), anticancer drugs, and in some cases for other hyperproliferative diseases. They act through several mechanisms, including topoisomerase inhibition, direct polymerase inhibition, nucleotide pool depletion, and DNA damage/modification.
