Methotrexate metabolite  (Synonyms: DAMPA)

Cat. No.: HY-108251 Purity: 98.44%
COA Handling Instructions

Methotrexate metabolite (DAMPA) is an active metabolite of Methotrexate. Methotrexate is a Folic acid (HY-16637) antagonist, widely used as an immunosuppressant. Methotrexate metabolite is an antimalarial agent that inhibits parasite growth under physiological folic acid conditions, with IC50 values of 446 nM and 812 nM against folic acid-sensitive strains and highly resistant strains, respectively. Methotrexate metabolite exhibits pharmacokinetic characteristics of rapid clearance and extensive metabolism, with a mean clearance rate of 1.9 l/kg/h and a mean terminal half-life of 51 minutes. Methotrexate metabolite is promising for research in the field of inflammation.

Methotrexate metabolite is an antimalarial agent that inhibits parasite growth under physiological folic acid conditions, with IC50 values of 446 nM and 812 nM against folic acid-sensitive strains and highly resistant strains, respectively. Methotrexate metabolite exhibits pharmacokinetic characteristics of rapid clearance and extensive metabolism, with a mean clearance rate of 1.9 l/kg/h and a mean terminal half-life of 51 minutes. Methotrexate metabolite is promising for research in the field of inflammation[2][3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3]

Cell Line: Molt-4 human leukemic cell line
Concentration: 100 mM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Alone was not cytotoxic to Molt-4 human leukemia cells at concentrations up to 100 mM, and DAMPA did not significantly alter the cytotoxicity profile of Methotrexate (HY-14519).
In Vivo

Methotrexate metabolite (8.6-10.1 mg/kg, 200 mg/m2, i.v., 15 minutes) has pharmacokinetic properties of rapid clearance and extensive metabolism in adult male Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) (8.0-15.9 kg), with an average clearance rate of 1.9 l/kg/h and an average terminal half-life of 51 minutes[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.68 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.68 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
