Alkylating agents and topoisomerase inhibitors both affect native DNA, but they're targeted to the replication process, making it more difficult for cells to replicate (and also certain enzyme functions are blocked)
It results in death for cells that expect to multiply quickly, or in the case of anti-metabolites it makes the replication flawed, so the new cell is just full of garbage.
I find your posts hard to read could you lighten up on the chemistry a bit?
