Usage And Synthesis:

Chemical Properties: Yellow Crystaline Powder UsageUsed as a antineoplastic and antirheumatic. A folic Acid antagonist General DescriptionOdorless yellow to orange-brown crystalline powder. Air & Water ReactionsMethotrexate is sensitive to hydrolysis, oxidation and light. Insoluble in water. Reactivity ProfileMethotrexate decomposes in very acidic or alkaline conditions. Methotrexate is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. Fire HazardFlash point data for Methotrexate are not available; however, Methotrexate is probably combustible. Biological ActivityCytotoxic agent. Inhibits thymidylate synthetase and de novo purine synthesis. Potent folic acid antagonist; inhibits dihydrofolate reductase. Also inhibits Ras carboxyl methylation in DKOB8 cells, leading to decreased p44 and Akt activation. Methotrexate
