This course on cancer drugs - antimetabolites aims to educate learners on the mechanism of action and side effects of drugs used in cancer treatment. By covering topics such as DNA synthesis, purine and pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis, and specific drugs like Hydroxyurea and Methotrexate, the course helps learners understand how these drugs target fast-dividing cells at different phases of the cell cycle. The teaching method involves a lecture format with a duration of 13 minutes. This course is intended for individuals interested in pharmacology, particularly in the context of cancer treatment.
