Methotrexate (Standard)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methotrexate (Standard) (Amethopterin (Standard); CL14377 (Standard); WR19039 (Standard)) is the analytical standard of Methotrexate (HY-14519). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Methotrexate (Amethopterin; CL14377; WR19039) is an orally active antifolate (Antifolate). Methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), blocks tetrahydrofolate production, suppresses purine/pyrimidine synthesis and transmethylation, and causes intracellular accumulation of AICAR. Methotrexate promotes extracellular adenosine release, regulates the cytokine network, and inhibits the alarmin function of HMGB1. Methotrexate induces apoptosis and cytotoxicity, upregulates the expression of iNOS and COX-2, suppresses hippocampal neurogenesis, and induces pulmonary fibrosis. Methotrexate 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.
