Mechanism of action

DNA degradation therapies work by facilitating the breakdown of cellular DNA, which can be used to eliminate rapidly dividing cells or cells with compromised DNA integrity. The once-daily dosing suggests a formulation designed for systemic delivery and sustained effect. The specific molecular mechanism—whether through nuclease activity, topoisomerase inhibition, or another pathway—is not clearly specified in the available information.
