Drugs that interfere with enzymes and their reactions that are necessary for DNA synthesis are known as antimetabolites. S-Phase is used to build new DNA molecules, antimetabolite interferes and slows the synthesis of pyrimidine and purine which induce the death of cells. Antimetabolites are useful in cancer treatment but are toxic to the normal cell.

Antimetabolites are folic acids and pyrimidine or purine equivalents. These molecules are one of the crucial chemotherapeutic agents and are characterized by low molecular weight molecules. As these compounds have a similar structure to molecules used in nucleic acid synthesis, these molecules are used for different cancer treatments, which include pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, leukaemia, gastro-intestinal cancer, and ovarian cancer.

The existence of Antimetabolite Drugs has a false impact on cell cycles as these drugs inhibit cell division and growth. Therefore, these drugs are commonly used as chemotherapeutics in various cancer cases. Besides cancer therapeutics, Antimetabolite Drugs have different applications such as antibiotics and trabeculectomy.
