This document discusses anticancer drugs, including their definition as drugs used to treat cancerous growths through destroying rapidly dividing cancer cells. It lists some common anticancer drugs like cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, temozolomide, and capecitabine. The document also briefly outlines the common mechanisms of action of these drugs and provides examples of the synthesis of specific anticancer drugs like thiotepa, carmustine, and cyclophosphamide.
