DNA and RNA synthesis: Antifolates
Article Abstract:
The major progress and developments in inhibitors of the folate pathway enzymes involved in folic acid biosynthesis are discussed. Starting from guanosine triphosphate, six enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid, and the inhibitors of these enzymes fall under the term 'antifolates'.
