Cell Cycle Specific

Also written as CCS.

Cell Cycle-Specific DrugsThese drugs act on cells that are actively progressing through specific phases of the cell cycle.

What our notes say

Cell Cycle-Specific DrugsThese drugs act on cells that are actively progressing through specific phases of the cell cycle. (Chemotherapy Drugs: Cell Cycle Phase & Mechanism Explained)
Cell-cycle-specific (CCS) – act only on actively dividing cells in a particular phase (Pharmacology CRASH Course)
CCS (cell-cycle-specific) – act only on cycling cells in a specific phase (antimetabolites = S phase; vinca alkaloids = M phase) (Master Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics & Antimicrobial Drugs)
Cell Cycle Specific (CCS)- Only kill cells actively going through a specific phase (Cell Cycle & Chemotherapy: Drug Mechanisms & Phases)
Non-Cell Cycle Specific (NCCS)- Kill cells at any phase including G0 (Cell Cycle & Chemotherapy: Drug Mechanisms & Phases)
