Trimetrexate
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Trimetrexate (CI-898) is an antibiotic, also a potent and orally active dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor, reducing the production of DNA and RNA precursors and leading to cell death, with IC50 values of 4.74 nM and 1.35 nM for human DHFR and Toxoplasma gondii DHFR. Trimetrexate can also inhibit the growth of various cancer cells. Trimetrexate can be used for researching Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and cancer.

Trimetrexate (0.1 μM, 18 h) completely inhibits proliferation of toxoplasma in murine macrophages[3].
Trimetrexate (1 μM) can cross the toxoplasma cell membrane and rapidly reaches high intracellular concentrations (108 pmol/107 cells within 10 min) [3].
Trimetrexate (0.1 mM; 24 h) inhibits cell growth by 50-60% in SNU-C4 and NCI-H630 cell lines[5].
Trimetrexate (1 and 10 mM; 24 h) produces lethality and inhibits DHFR in C4 cells[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.77 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
