Clinical pharmacology of very low dose methotrexate for use in rheumatoid arthritis.
The clinical pharmacokinetics of methotrexate, particularly when the drug is used at low doses for nonmalignant disease, are complicated and require extensive study. Bioavailability of the drug may be influenced--at least in part--by food intake. Biliary excretion can compensate for decreased renal excretion of methotrexate to some degree. However, further studies of the renal excretion of methotrexate are needed.

Pharmacokinetics of methotrexate and 7-hydroxy-methotrexate after methotrexate infusions.
Methotrexate was administered by IV infusion, 2g (1.19 +/- 0.05 g/m2) over 24 hours, to a homogeneous group of patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Three courses were given at three week intervals. Methotrexate and 7-hydroxy-methotrexate plasma and urine pharmacokinetics were investigated. The average terminal half-lives of methotrexate and 7-hydroxy-methotrexate in plasma were 15.02 and 15.19 hours respectively. The area under concentration-time curve was 723.8 +/- 196.4 microM x h for methotrexate and 598.1 +/- 212.5 microM x h for 7-hydroxy-methotrexate. The total average urinary excretions of methotrexate and 7-hydroxy-methotrexate over a 96 hour period were 52% and 5.4% respectively. Urinary clearance of methotrexate was 3.46 +/- 1.4 1/h. In contrast, urinary excretion of 7-hydroxy-methotrexate was not linear. These results confirm the protein binding of metabolite to serum albumin and may suggest that distribution of 7-hydroxy-methotrexate is different from unchanged drug or that the metabolite can be eliminated by another route, such as bile.
