Antiproliferative

Antiproliferative activity is a type of medicinal activity that works to inhibit the growth or increase of certain cells. This activity is often used to treat certain types of cancer, as it can help to stop the growth of cancerous cells. Antiproliferative agents work by targeting the pathways that are involved in the growth and division of cells, such as cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Antiproliferative agents also work to alter the metabolism of cells, making them more sensitive to other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. By targeting these pathways, antiproliferative agents can help to slow down the growth and spread of cancer cells, allowing for more effective treatment of the disease.
