trimetrexate and Carcinoma, Epidermoid

trimetrexate has been researched along with Carcinoma, Epidermoid in 8 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Trimetrexate (TMQ) is a synthetic folate antagonist that has demonstrated non-cross resistance with methotrexate in preclinical screens."2.68Phase II trial of trimetrexate in advanced esophageal cancer: a southwest oncology group study. ( Brown, TD; Fleming, TR; Macdonald, JS; Ross, SW, 1996)
"Human SCC-25 squamous carcinoma cells were exposed to methotrexate, trimetrexate or PT523 at a concentration of 5 microM for 24 h along with various concentrations of etoposide or novobiocin during the final 2 h."1.29Antifolates can potentiate topoisomerase II inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. ( Holden, SA; Northey, D; Robinson, MF; Rosowsky, A; Teicher, BA, 1995)
"Three human squamous carcinoma cell lines (FaDu, A253, and SQCC/Y1) were tested for sensitivity to methotrexate (MTX) and trimetrexate, a second generation folate antagonist in clinical trials."1.28Inherent resistance of human squamous carcinoma cell lines to methotrexate as a result of decreased polyglutamylation of this drug. ( Bertino, JR; Chang, YM; McGuire, JJ; Pizzorno, G, 1989)
