  3. Talotrexin

Talotrexin (PT523), an analog of Aminopterin (HY-14518), is a nonpolyglutamatable classic antifolate. Talotrexin is a RFC (reduced folate carrier) specific inhibitor and selectively inhibits RFC transport. Talotrexin shows antitumor activity by targeting DHFR to inhibit tumor growth.

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.
