NCI Thesaurus | talotrexin

An antimetabolite analog of aminopterin with antineoplastic activity. As a folate antagonist, talotrexin binds to and inhibits the function of dihydrofolate reductase. Hydrosoluble, talotrexin is actively transported into cells by the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and, therefore, is unlikely to be associated with P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance.
