The role of 7-hydroxymethotrexate during methotrexate anti-cancer therapy.
Plasma concentrations of 7-hydroxymethotrexate were measured in 10 individuals receiving methotrexate, 8 of them per infusion. After the end of infusion, the plasma concentration of formed 7-hydroxymethotrexate fell less rapidly than that of methotrexate. At 24 h after infusion, plasma concentration ratios of 7-hydroxymethotrexate ranged from 30 to 1 (n = 8). The presence of 7-hydroxymethotrexate was shown to influence the transport of methotrexate into Ehrlich ascites tumor cells and human KB cells, cultured in vitro. These findings suggest that monitoring of 7-OHMTX is important in MTX treatment.

7-Hydroxymethotrexate as a urinary metabolite in human subjects and rhesus monkeys receiving high dose methotrexate.
Human subjects and rhesus monkeys receiving the antitumor agent methotrexate at the high dose levels recently introduced into clinical use (greater than 50 mg/kg) excrete significant amounts of the metabolite 7-hydroxymethotrexate. The metabolite is not detected in these species after methotrexate therapy at conventional dose levels. The evidence indicates that in primates, the in vivo conversion of methotrexate to 7-hydroxymethotrexate is a dose-dependent phenomenon, with the enzyme system(s) catalyzing the reaction having a low affinity for the drug.
