Talotrexin (also known as PT-523) was developed as a nonpolyglutamatable antifolate drug for the treatment of various types of tumors. It is known that antifolates are a class of cytotoxic or antineoplastic agents, which inhibit or prevent the maturation and proliferation of malignant cells. Talotrexin was studied in clinical trials for the treatment of brain and central nervous system tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, unspecified childhood solid tumor. However, this study was withdrawn because of toxicity. In addition, was studied in phase I/II multicenter clinical trial in patients with non-small-cell Lung carcinoma, this study was also withdrawn. The withdrawal was related to incidences of dose-limiting mucositis and myelosuppression. However, on May 22, 2006, was announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation for talotrexin in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
