Methotrexate (Amethopterin) disodium, an antimetabolite and antifolate agent, inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby preventing the conversion of folic acid into tetrahydrofolate, and inhibiting DNA synthesis. Methotrexate disodium, also an immunosuppressant and antineoplastic agent, is used for the research of rheumatoid arthritis and a number of different cancers (such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia).

| Pelitrexol
Pelitrexol (AG 2037) is an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT), a purine biosynthetic enzyme. Pelitrexol also inhibits mTORC1 by reducing GTP-bound Rheb level, a mTORC1 obligate activator. |
| Methotrexate α-tert-butyl ester
Methotrexate α-tert-butyl ester, capped by OtBu, significantly reduces tumor growth in HT1080 tumor bearing mice. |
| Trimetrexate glucuronate
Trimetrexate glucuronate (NSC 352122) is a folic acid antagonist. Trimetrexate glucuronate affects DNA and RNA synthesis by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase and preventing the synthesis of purine nucleotides and thymidylate. Trimetrexate glucuronate has potential antitumour activity and can also be used to inhibit Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. |
