| Features: |
| Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication that has been used to treat various types of cancer. Methotrexate works by: Inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR): Methotrexate binds to DHFR, an enzyme that is necessary for the production of tetrahydrofolate, a co-factor for DNA synthesis. Interfering with DNA synthesis: By inhibiting DHFR, methotrexate prevents the production of tetrahydrofolate, which is necessary for DNA synthesis. Inducing apoptosis: Methotrexate can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. |
