 Use of 7-Hydroxymethotrexate


7-Hydroxymethotrexate is a major metabolite of Methotrexate (MTX; 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].
