• Drug Groups: approved
• Description: A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against pneumocystis pneumonia in AIDS patients. Myelosuppression is its dose-limiting toxic effect. [PubChem]
• Indication: For use, with concurrent leucovorin administration (leucovorin protection), as an alternative therapy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients, including patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Also used to treat several types of cancer including colon cancer.
• Pharmacology: Trimetrexate, a non-classical folate antagonist, is a synthetic inhibitor of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). During DNA synthesis and cellular reproduction, folic acid is reduced to tetrahydrofolic acid by the enzyme folic acid reductase. By interfering with the reduction of folic acid, trimetrexate interferes with tissue cell reproduction. Generally, the most sensitive cells to the antimetabolite effect of trimetrexate are those cells which are most actively proliferating such as malignant cells, dermal epithelium, buccal and intestinal mucosa, bone marrow, fetal cells, and cells of the urinary bladder. Because the proliferation of cells in malignant tissues is greater than in most normal tissues, trimetrexate may impair the growth of the malignant tissues without causing irreversible damage to normal tissues. Due to very serious and potentially life-threatening side-effects of this drug, leucovorin must be co-administered for at least 72 hours after the last dose.
• Toxicity: The LD₅₀ of intravenous trimetrexate in mice is 62 mg/kg (186 mg/m^2). Myelosuppression is a dose-limiting toxic effect.
• Affected Organisms: Humans and other mammals; Bacteria and protozoa
• Biotransformation: Hepatic. Preclinical data strongly suggest that the major metabolic pathway is oxidative O-demethylation, followed by conjugation to either glucuronide or the sulfate.
• Half Life: 11 to 20 hours
• Protein Binding: 95% (over the concentration range of 18.75 to 1000 ng/mL)
• Elimination: Ten to 30% of the administered dose is excreted unchanged in the urine.
• Distribution: * 20 ± 8 L/m2; * 36.9 ± 6 L/m2 [cancer patients]
• Clearance: * 38 +/- 15 mL/min/m2 [patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (4 patients) or toxoplasmosis (2 patients). Trimetrexate was administered intravenously as a bolus injection at a dose of 30 mg/m2/day along with leucovorin 20 mg/m2 every 6 hours for 21 days]; * 53 +/- 41 mL/min/m2 [Cancer patients with advanced solid tumors using various dosage regimensreceiving a single-dose administration of 10 to 130 mg/m2]; * 30 +/- 8 mL/min/m2 [Cancer patients with advanced solid tumors using various dosage regimensafter a five-day infusion]
