Analysis Note: | These products are for test and assay use only. They are not meant for administration to humans or animals and cannot be used to diagnose, treat, or cure diseases of any kind. |
Application: | Methotrexate Related Compound B USP reference standard for use in specified quality tests and assays. Additionally used to prepare standard, standard stock, system suitability, and system suitability stock solutions for impurity analysis in the given below monographs according to United States Pharmacopeia (USP):• Methotrexate • Methotrexate Injection • Methotrexate for Injection |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Folic acid antagonist. Aminopterin is actively transported into cells by the folate transporter. In the cell, it is converted to a high molecular weight polyglutamate metabolite by folylpolyglutamate synthase that, in turn, binds to dihydrofolate reductase and inhibits its activity. Aminopterin-polyglutamate is degraded intracellularly by γ-glutamyl hydrolase. |
