SMILES: NC1=NC(N)=C2C(N=CC(CN(C)C3=CC=C(C(N[C@@H](CCC(O)=O)C(O)=O)=O)C=C3)=N2)=N1.O.[x]
Biological Activity: Methotrexate hydrate (Amethopterin hydrate; CL14377 hydrate; WR19039 hydrate) is an orally active antifolate (Antifolate). Methotrexate hydrate inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), blocks tetrahydrofolate production, suppresses purine/pyrimidine synthesis and transmethylation, and causes intracellular accumulation of AICAR. Methotrexate hydrate promotes extracellular adenosine release, regulates the cytokine network, and inhibits the alarmin function of HMGB1. Methotrexate hydrate induces apoptosis and cytotoxicity, upregulates the expression of iNOS and COX-2, suppresses hippocampal neurogenesis, and induces pulmonary fibrosis. Methotrexate hydrate is used in the research of various immune and inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as pulmonary fibrosis and breast cancer[1][2][3][4][5].
