7-Hydroxymethotrexate BiologicalActivity

Description7-Hydroxymethotrexate is a major metabolite of Methotrexate (MTX; HY-14519). Methotrexate, an antimetabolite and antifolate agent, inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby preventing the conversion of folic acid into tetrahydrofolate, and inhibiting DNA synthesis[1][2].

In Vitro7-Hydroxymethotrexate (7-OHMTX) has the affinity of DHFR markedly lower (>100-fold) than for Methotrexate (MTX) [1].
In Vivo7-Hydroxymethotrexate (4 mg/kg; IV) has a terminal half-life of 97.2 min and a total clearance value of 9.6 mL/min•mg[1]. Animal Model: Male Wistar rats (270-440 g)[1] Dosage: 4 mg/kg (Pharmacokinetic Analysis) Administration: IV Result: Had a terminal half-life of 97.2 min and a total clearance value of 9.6 mL/min•mg.
