Drugs Act Structural Analogue Antimetabolite Work Mimic Substrate

Drugs acting as structural analogues (antimetabolites) mimic substrates in metabolic pathways, creating non-functional end-products and inhibiting pathogen growth.

Los fármacos que actúan como análogos estructurales (antimetabolitos) imitan sustratos en vías metabólicas, creando productos finales no funcionales e inhibiendo el crecimiento del patógeno.
