Description

Application

Pemetrexed disodium heptahydrate has been used as a folate antimetabolite to study its effects on ovarian clear cell carcinoma cells. It has also been used as an antifolate to determine its effects on neuroblastoma cell lines.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pemetrexed exhibits its activity against several tumors such as colorectal, breast, gastric, pancreatic, and cervical cancer. It acts as a substrate for multidrug resistance protein transporters.

Pemetrexed is antifolate cancer drug approved for treatment of variety of cancer including pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer. Pemetrexed is a folate antimetabolite that inhibits thymidylate synthase, dihydrofolate reductase and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase, three enzymes used in purine and pyrimidine synthesis.
