NCIt definition : An antimetabolite analogue of aminopterin with potential antineoplastic activity.
As a folate antagonist, talotrexin binds to and inhibits the function of dihydrofolate
reductase, resulting in the inhibition of folate metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cell
division. Hydrosoluble, talotrexin is actively transported into cells by the reduced
folate carrier (RFC) and, therefore, is unlikely to be associated with P-glycoprotein-mediated
multidrug resistance.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of leukemia and some
other types of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called antifolates.;
