Pemetrexed disodium is a compound extensively studied for its role as an antifolate, primarily used in chemical and biochemical research. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of several folate-dependent enzymes, which are vital for the synthesis of nucleotides, thus impeding DNA and RNA synthesis. This mode of action makes it an interesting subject in the study of cell proliferation and the cell cycle, particularly in rapidly dividing cells. In research applications, it′s used to investigate the cellular response to folate pathway inhibition, including the examination of metabolic pathways and genetic factors that influence cell sensitivity or resistance to antifolates. Furthermore, pemetrexed disodium is utilized in the synthesis of novel compounds with potential biochemical or industrial applications.
