Chemotherapeutic agents directly interfere with processes that are intimately tied to cell division such as, for example, DNA replication, RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, the assembly, disassembly, or function of the mitotic spindle, and/or the synthesis or stability of molecules that play a role in these processes, such as nucleotides or amino acids.
