Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to pemetrexed disodium (CAS RN 150399-23-8), pemetrexed disodium heptahydrate (CAS RN 357166-29-1), pemetrexed dipotassium (CAS RN 1438895-00-1), pemetrexed diarginine (CAS RN 1639418-21-5), pemetrexed ditromethamine (CAS RN 1645228-03-0), pemetrexed tromethamine (CAS RN 1851348-04-3), and Pemetrexed sodium hydrate (CAS RN 357166-30-4). Pemetrexed is indicated to treat malignant mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer. Pemetrexed is a folate analog metabolic inhibitor that exerts its antineoplastic activity by disrupting folate-dependent metabolic processes essential for cell replication. In vitro studies have shown that pemetrexed inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT), all folatedependent enzymes involved in the de novo biosynthesis of thymidine and purine nucleotides. Preclinical studies have shown that pemetrexed inhibits the in vitro growth of mesothelioma cell lines (MSTO-211H, NCI-H2052).
