@Caroline_Bartma it’s a good question but it doesn’t surprise me. It’s what I’d expect from first principles. Nucleotide analogs will be specifically toxic to actively proliferating cells because they’re doing DNA synthesis and dividing. Ribosomal poisons like cyclohexamide zap everything, fast growing or not - I’d expect the toxicity to be too high to be therapeutically useful.
