How alkylating drug work
Alkylating chemotherapy drugs attach chemical groups to a cell's DNA, forming cross-links that lock the two DNA strands together. This damage stops the cell from copying its DNA and dividing, which triggers it to die; because they are not limited to one phase of the cell cycle, they can act on cells whether or not they are actively dividing.
