Mitonafide is a Cytostatic Agent, Inhibiting DNA and RNA Synthesis

Cytostatic agents are cell components or drugs that inhibit cell division. Specifically, cell growth arrest is an important prerequisite for structured multicellular organisms. Cell inhibitors achieve these growth-inhibitory effects through specific mechanisms of action. Some cell inhibitors are not only used in cancer treatment, but also for other diseases...

Daunorubicin is a Topoisomerase II Inhibitor with potent Antineoplastic Activities

Topoisomerases are enzymes that regulate the overwinding or underwinding of DNA. The winding problem of DNA arises due to the intertwined nature of its double-helical structure. Topoisomerases are isomerase enzymes that act on the topology of DNA. Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix, relaxation...
