7-Hydroxymethotrexate

7-Hydroxymethotrexate is a major metabolite of Methotrexate (HY-14519) . Methotrexate, an antimetabolite and antifolate agent, inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby preventing the conversion of folic acid into tetrahydrofolate, and inhibiting DNA synthesis[1][2].
