Methotrexate IP About

Methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist widely used as an antimetabolite and immunosuppressive agent in oncology and autoimmune therapy. It works by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby interfering with DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication, particularly in rapidly dividing cells. Methotrexate is commonly prescribed in the treatment of various cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and breast cancer, as well as non-oncological conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and certain inflammatory disorders. Due to its well-established efficacy and controlled safety profile, methotrexate remains a cornerstone drug in both chemotherapy and chronic immune-mediated disease management. Synonyms: Amethopterin, Methotrexatum, MTX, 4-Amino-10-methylfolic acid.
