Lometrexol hydrate

Catalog No. T41297 CAS 1435784-14-7

Lometrexol hydrate (DDATHF hydrate) is an antipurine antifolate compound that inhibits glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT) activity without inducing detectable DNA strand breaks. It further disrupts de novo purine synthesis, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest, exhibiting anticancer activity [1] [2]. Additionally, it acts as a potent inhibitor of human Serine hydroxymethyltransferase1/2 (h SHMT1/2) [3].

Description	Lometrexol hydrate (DDATHF hydrate) is an antipurine antifolate compound that inhibits glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT) activity without inducing detectable DNA strand breaks. It further disrupts de novo purine synthesis, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest, exhibiting anticancer activity [1] [2]. Additionally, it acts as a potent inhibitor of human Serine hydroxymethyltransferase1/2 (h SHMT1/2) [3].
In vitro	Lometrexol hydrate (DDATHF hydrate) binds tightly to GART, causing a rapid and prolonged depletion of intracellular purine ribonucleotides [2]. Lometrexol hydrate (1-30 μM; 2-10 hours) induces rapid and complete growth inhibition in L1210 cells [2]. Lometrexol hydrate (1 μM; 2-24 hours) induces cell cycle arrest in murine leukemia L1210 cells [2]. Lometrexol hydrate induces abnormal proliferation and apoptosis exist in neural tube defects (NTDs) [1]. Cell Viability Assay [2] Cell Line: Mouse leukemia L1210 cells Concentration: 1, 30 μM Incubation Time: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours Result: Induced rapid and complete growth inhibition. Cell Cycle Analysis [2] Cell Line: L1210 cells Concentration: 1 μM Incubation Time: 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours Result: Caused a rapid loss of the G2/M phase population of cells and an early S phase accumulation of cells by 8 hours. By 24 h, the S phase population appeared to be slowly shifting to higher DNA content, and hence, from mid-to-late S phase.
In vivo	Lometrexol hydrate (DDATHF hydrate; i.p.; 15-60 mg/kg; on gestation day 7.5) increases the rate of embryonic resorption and growth retardation in a dose-dependent manner [1]. Lometrexol hydrate (i.p.; 40 mg/kg) maximally inhibits GARFT activity after at 6 hours and thereafter gradually increases over time, but remains significantly lower than control even at 96 hours. Levels of ATP, GTP, dATP and dGTP of NTDs embryonic brain tissue decreases significantly at 6 h, and more significantly over time [1]. Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice (7-8 week, 18-20 g) [1] Dosage: 15, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 60 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; on gestation day 7.5 Result: Increased the rate of embryonic resorption and growth retardation in a dose-dependent manner.
