Information
has gloss(noun) an antineoplastic drug that inhibits the utilization of a metabolite
antimetabolite
has glosseng: An antimetabolite is a chemical that inhibits the use of a metabolite, which is another chemical that is part of normal metabolism. Such substances are often similar in structure to the metabolite that they interfere with, such as the antifolates that interfere with the use of folic acid. The presence of antimetabolites can have toxic effects on cells, such as halting cell growth and cell division, so these compounds are used as chemotherapy for cancer.

has glossfra: Un antimétabolite est une substance chimique qui empêche lutilisation dun métabolite, qui est un autre produit chimique qui fait partie du métabolisme normal. Ces substances sont souvent similaires dans leur structure à celle du métabolite avec lequel elles interfèrent comme le antifolates qui interfèrent avec lutilisation de lacide folique. Les antimétabolites peuvent de par leur présence avoir des effets toxiques sur les cellules, comme l'arrêt de la croissance et de la division cellulaire, de sorte que ces composés sont utilisés dans les chimiothérapies contre les cancers.
