Description | Methotrexate α-tert-butyl ester, capped by OtBu, significantly reduces tumor growth in HT1080 tumor bearing mice. Methotrexate is an antimetabolite and antifolate agent and is also an immunosuppressant and antineoplastic agent[1][2][3][4]. |

In Vitro | OtBu-MTX-PVG is less HT1080 than MTX-PVG against HT1080 cells. It shows that protection of the α-carboxyl group of MTX results in reduced in vitro activity[1]. |
In Vivo | Lys-MTXcleavable- (OtBu) significantly reduces tumor growth in HT1080 tumor bearing mice[1]. The protection of the α-carboxyl group of methotrexate may be used to improve the circulatory half-life and reduce the liver accumulation of similar MTX-conjugated dendrimers, while still retaining antitumor activity in vivo[1]. Animal Model: Female, Balb/c nu/nu, 6 weeks (bearing HT1080 cells)[1] Dosage: 30 mg/kg Administration: Once per week for 2 weeks Result: Showed a significant (63%) reduction in tumor size on day 12. |
