DNA/RNA Synthesis

DNA and RNA synthesis are crucial cellular processes involving the replication of DNA and the transcription of RNA, respectively. These mechanisms are vital for cell growth, division, and protein production. Targeting DNA/RNA synthesis can be a powerful strategy in treating diseases, particularly cancer, where rapid and uncontrolled cell division occurs. Inhibitors that disrupt these processes can prevent cancer cells from replicating their DNA or producing essential RNAs, leading to cell death. Additionally, antiviral drugs often target viral DNA or RNA synthesis to curb viral replication. This therapeutic approach requires precision to avoid harming normal cellular processes, making the development of selective and effective inhibitors a significant focus in pharmaceutical research.
