Biological Activity

Description Pemetrexed (disodium heptahydrate) is a folate antimetabolite that inhibits thymidylate synthase, dihydrofolate reductase and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase. It also induces apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in non-small-cell lung cancer carrying an EGFR exon 19 deletion.
Targets
Thymidylate Synthase [1] DHFR [1]
