Product Overview

Aminopterin is a folic acid analog with the molecular formula C₁₉H₂₀N₈O₅ and a molecular weight of 440.41 g/mol. This yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder is a potent dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor, widely used in cell culture and pharmaceutical research. The compound functions by inhibiting DHFR, an enzyme essential for the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate and thus for DNA synthesis and cell division. In research applications, aminopterin is used as a selective agent in cell culture, as a tool for studying folate metabolism, and as a reference compound in antifolate drug research. It is also a key component in HAT medium for hybridoma selection.

Synthetic Process

Aminopterin is synthesized through the following routes:

• Multi-step synthesis from appropriate precursors: The pteridine and glutamate moieties are constructed through a series of chemical reactions.

• Purification: The crude product is purified by recrystallization or chromatography.

Mechanism of Action / Application Principles

• DHFR Inhibition: Competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, blocking DNA synthesis.

• Cell Culture: Used as a selective agent in HAT medium for hybridoma selection.

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference compound in antifolate drug development.

Quality Specifications

Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA).
