Methotrexate diethyl ester
Methotrexate diethyl ester is a cell-permeable prodrug of the antimetabolite methotrexate, functioning as a potent inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) . This action depletes tetrahydrofolate, thereby blocking thymidylate and DNA synthesis. It is widely used in research for studying anticancer mechanisms and immunosuppression in both cellular and animal models.
