HIDE SMILES / InChI
Edatrexate (10-ethyl-10-deazaaminopterin or 10-EDAM) is an analog of methotrexate with improved pre-clinical antitumor activity, more selective cellular uptake, and with the more extensive formation of intracellular polyglutamate metabolites. This drug is a new dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, which was studied in phase II clinical trial for the patients with different cancers. The studies were discontinued, for example, in advanced renal cell carcinoma edatrexate in the investigated dose and schedule had minimal activity and was toxic. In case of non-small-cell lung cancer, the dosing schedule of edatrexate did not appear to be improved compared to other chemotherapeutic regimens. In addition, edatrexate was involved in the experiment for the treatemnt of rheumatoid arthritis, but this study was also discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

cancer; treatment consisted of edatrexate 80 mg/m2 (50% dose on day 8) intravenously weekly for 5 weeks, then every other week, and carboplatin 350 mg/m2 every 28 days rheumatoid arthritis: hairless mouse skin: transdermal: 85 micrograms/cm2/hr

In Vitro Use Guide
It was evaluated the ability of edatrexate to modulate the intrinsic resistance of the lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line to carboplatin. Concentration effects, exposure time and schedule dependence were assessed. Modulation of resistance was observed with edatrexate treatment (0.2 microM for 1 h) prior to carboplatin. The concentrations of carboplatin to achieve IC50 at the 1-, 3-, and 24-h IC50 were decreased by a mean of 16.8 times (12.2-22.2) with edatrexate preexposure. In contrast, there was little modulation observed of carboplatin resistance when carboplatin was administered prior to edatrexate. In addition, schedule dependency experiments were performed using the method described by Chou and Talalay, in which the ratio of carboplatin to edatrexate was constant or nonconstant, and both the potency of effects and the shapes of the concentration-effect curves were taken into account in a computerized analysis.
