Pemetrexed
Chemical Name: N-[4-[2-(2-Amino-4,7-dihydro-4-oxo-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
Pemetrexed is a high affinity dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor (Ki = 7 nM). Also inhibits thymidylate synthase, AICART and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (Ki values are 109 nM, and 3.5 μM and 9.3 μM, respectively). Indirectly activates AMPK. Inhibits proliferation of cancer cell lines in vitro.Technical Data
