Description

Yellow Crystalline PowderTomudex was launched in Ireland, France, Luxembourg and the UK for advanced colorectal cancer and it was prepared in a convergent manner (6 steps) from diethyl L-glutamate and 6-bromomethyi-2-methyl-quinazolin4(3H)-one. Tomudex is a highly selective inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS), the key enzyme in the biochemical conversion of dUMP to dTMP. It enters the cell via the reduced folatefmethotrexate cell membrane carrier and is converted to the polyglutamate s

Raltitrexed Use and Manufacturing

Folate-based inhibitor of thymidylate synthase; rapidly and extensively metabolized to its more potent polyglutamate derivatives. Antineoplastic

Drug Function and Efficacy

Raltitrexed is an antimetabolite folic acid analog that specifically inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS). Inhibition of TS leads to DNA fragmentation and cell apoptosis. Raltitrexed polyglutamate improves its anti-tumor activity by enhancing TS inhibition ability and prolonging inhibition time.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
