Agent - Alkalating

: The drug attaches an "alkyl group" to a DNA base, most frequently at the N7 position of guanine .

Alkylating agents are a critical class of chemotherapy drugs that act directly on the DNA of cells to prevent them from growing and dividing. Unlike many other cancer treatments, they are , meaning they can attack cancer cells at any stage of their life cycle. How They Work alkalating agent

: Once the DNA damage becomes too severe to repair, the cell's internal checkpoints trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis). From old alkylating agents to new minor groove binders : The drug attaches an "alkyl group" to

: Repair enzymes in the cell may attempt to fix the damaged DNA, which often results in further strand breaks and fragmentation. How They Work : Once the DNA damage

The primary goal of these agents is to disrupt the DNA replication process. They achieve this through a process called :
