Lometrexol
Lometrexol (LY 264618) is an antipurine antifolate that potently inhibits glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT) and human serine hydroxymethyltransferase (hSHMT1/2), disrupting de novo purine synthesis. This activity leads to suppressed cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, underpinning its research use as an anticancer agent in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
