Lometrexol hydrate
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Lometrexol (DDATHF) hydrate, an antipurine antifolate, can inhibit the activity of glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT) but do not induce detectable levels of DNA strand breaks. Lometrexol hydrate can further inhibit de novo purine synthesis, causing abnormal cell proliferation and apoptosis, even cell cycle arrest. Lometrexol hydrate has anticancer activity. Lometrexol hydrate also is a potent human Serine hydroxymethyltransferase1/2 (hSHMT1/2) inhibitor.

Biological Activity
Lometrexol (DDATHF) hydrate binds tightly to GART, resulting in a rapid and prolonged depletion of intracellular purine ribonucleotides[3].
Lometrexol (1-30 μM; 2-10 hours) hydrate induces rapid and complete growth inhibition in L1210 cells[3].
Lometrexol (1 μM; 2-24 hours) hydrate induces cell cycle arrest in murine leukemia L1210 cells[3].

-
Cell Line:Mouse leukemia L1210 cells
-
Concentration:1, 30 μM
-
Incubation Time:2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours
-
Result:Induced rapid and complete growth inhibition.
-
Cell Line:L1210 cells
-
Concentration:1 μM
-
Incubation Time:2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours
-
Result:Caused a rapid loss of the G2/M phase population of cells and an early S phase accumulation of cells by 8 hours. By 24 h, the S phase population appeared to be slowly shifting to higher DNA content, and hence, from mid-to-late S phase.
