trimetrexate and Sarcoma

trimetrexate has been researched along with Sarcoma in 6 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.

Sarcoma: A connective tissue neoplasm formed by proliferation of mesodermal cells; it is usually highly malignant.

" To better understand how ET-743 might be used clinically, the present study used SRB assays to examine the cytotoxicity resulting from combining ET-743 with three other antineoplastic agents: doxorubicin (DXR), trimetrexate, and paclitaxel in different administration schedules in two soft tissue sarcoma cell lines, HT-1080 and HS-18, in vitro."7.71Sequence-dependent enhancement of cytotoxicity produced by ecteinascidin 743 (ET-743) with doxorubicin or paclitaxel in soft tissue sarcoma cells. ( Banerjee, D; Bertino, JR; Li, WW; Scotto, KW; Takahashi, N, 2001)
"A human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT-1080, and four new cell lines (HS-16, HS-28, HS-30, and HS-42) were established from untreated patients with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, malignant hemangiopericytoma, and mixed mesodermal tumor, respectively, and were used for analysis of mechanisms of intrinsic resistance to methotrexate."7.68Intrinsic resistance to methotrexate in human soft tissue sarcoma cell lines. ( Bertino, JR; Li, WW; Lin, JT; Niedzwiecki, D; Schweitzer, BI; Tong, WP, 1992)
