What are Antimetabolites?

Antimetabolites are molecules that resemble naturally occurring metabolites and disrupt metabolic processes within cells. They can act as competitive inhibitors of key enzymes involved in cellular metabolism, effectively blocking the normal function of these enzymes. This disruption can lead to the inhibition of cell growth and replication, making antimetabolites useful as chemotherapy agents for treating cancer. Some examples of antimetabolites include methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and gemcitabine.
