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