Pemetrexed is a high affinity dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor (Ki = 7 nM). Pemetrexed 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. Pemetrexed inhibits proliferation of cancer cell lines in vitro.
