trimetrexate and Colonic Neoplasms

trimetrexate has been researched along with Colonic Neoplasms in 9 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.

Colonic Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the COLON.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"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)."7.67Effects of methotrexate and of the "nonclassical" folate antagonist trimetrexate on human leukemia cells. ( Bertino, JR; McGuire, JJ; Rodenhuis, S; Sawicki, WL, 1987)
"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)

( Bertino, JR; McGuire, JJ; Rodenhuis, S; Sawicki, WL, 1987)
"Next, human HCT-8 and HCT-116 colon cancer cells retrovirally transduced to express a DHFR-herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1 TK) fusion protein and treated with the DHFR inhibitor TMTX exhibited increased levels of the DHFR-HSV1 TK fusion protein and an increase in ganciclovir sensitivity by 250-fold."1.31Cells exposed to antifolates show increased cellular levels of proteins fused to dihydrofolate reductase: a method to modulate gene expression. ( Akhurst, T; Balatoni, J; Banerjee, D; Bertino, JR; Blasberg, R; Bornmann, W; Doubrovin, M; Finn, R; Fong, Y; Gelovani Tjuvajev, J; Iwamoto, M; Larson, S; Malhotra, S; Mayer-Kuckuk, P, 2002)
"MAWI colonic cancer cells respond to sequential treatment in vitro with carboxypeptidase G2 and trimetrexate by a delay in cell growth as measured by cell numbers, but an increase in incorporation of 75-Se-selenomethionine per cell."1.28Carboxypeptidase G2 and trimetrexate cause growth delay of human colonic cancer cells in vitro. ( Bagshawe, KD; Bradshaw, T; Mellor, B; Melton, RG; Pedley, RB; Searle, F; Sherwood, RF, 1990)
"Trimetrexate is a nonclassical antifol currently being tested for efficacy in cancer patients and as an antiparasitic agent against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients."1.28Hypersensitivity reactions to trimetrexate. ( Brown, TD; Costanza, ME; Grem, JL; King, SA, 1990)
