per UW, antimetabolites belong to G1 while alkylating agents are s phase but in other books, antimetabolistes are s phase drug, alkylating agents are cell cycle non-specific . which is correct? thanks

Alkylating agents r CCNS (Cell Cyclic Non Specific) they kill the tumor cells in both their cycling and resting of the cell cycle. Antimetabolites CCS (Cell Cylic Specific) they attack the cells during the S phase cell cycle. Reference Katzung.
