Mechanism of action

These drugs are classified as alkylating agents, which form covalent bonds with DNA, causing cross-linking and DNA damage. This damage triggers cell death, particularly in rapidly dividing cancer cells. The specific mechanism of action varies slightly between each drug, but they all ultimately disrupt DNA replication and cell division.
