trimetrexate and Adenocarcinoma

trimetrexate has been researched along with Adenocarcinoma in 12 studies

Trimetrexate: A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA in AIDS patients. Myelosuppression is its dose-limiting toxic effect.

Adenocarcinoma: A malignant epithelial tumor with a glandular organization.

"Within three repeated 7-day incubation periods with either methotrexate (MTX) or trimetrexate (TMTX), human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-8) developed high levels of resistance to these drugs, as evidenced by approximately 20- and 50-fold increases, respectively, in the median effective doses."3.68Rapid development of resistance to antifolates in vitro: possible clinical implication. ( Aschele, C; Bertino, JR; Nicolin, A; Rosso, R; Sobrero, A, 1991)
"Twenty-five samples of fresh malignant cells of patients with acute leukemia (16 with acute myeloblastic leukemia, five with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and four with chronic myelocytic leukemia in blast crisis) and of two patients with colon carcinoma were exposed for 1 hr to different concentrations of methotrexate (MTX) or trimetrexate (TMQ)."3.67Effects of methotrexate and of the "nonclassical" folate antagonist trimetrexate on human leukemia cells.
