Apexbio Technology LLC Methotrexate 59-05-2 10mM (in 1mL DMSO)

Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC A43475.1
Methotrexate is a folate antagonist commonly utilized in biomedical research due to its inhibitory action on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) a critical enzyme in folate metabolism This inhibition disrupts nucleotide synthesis thereby interfering with cell proliferation Upon cell uptake methotrexate is converted intracellularly into polyglutamate derivatives which prolong its biochemical activity through sustained enzyme inhibition Additionally methotrexate promotes extracellular adenosine release at inflammatory sites mediating immunological effects In cellular assays for DHFR inhibition methotrexate demonstrates potent inhibitory activity with reported IC50 values typically ranging from 5 to 50 nM depending on the cell type and experimental conditions Methotrexate is widely utilized in research on inflammation oncology and rheumatoid arthritis-related mechanisms
