Chemotherapy drugs are medications used to treat cancer by targeting and destroying rapidly dividing cancer cells. They can be classified into several categories based on their mechanisms of action and their specific targets within the cancer cells. Here's a brief classification of chemotherapy drugs:

1. Alkylating Agents: Alkylating agents are chemicals that add alkyl groups to DNA molecules, leading to cross-linking and DNA damage. This inhibits DNA replication and cell division, ultimately causing cell death. Examples include cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, and temozolomide.

2. Antimetabolites: Antimetabolites interfere with DNA and RNA synthesis by mimicking normal building blocks of these molecules. They disrupt the cell's ability to replicate and divide. Examples include methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and gemcitabine.

3. Anthracyclines: Anthracyclines are compounds derived from Streptomyces bacteria. They work by intercalating into DNA strands, causing DNA breaks, inhibiting DNA synthesis, and generating reactive oxygen species _________ _____ _______ __ _______ _____ ___ _____.
