A simple and sensitive HPLC method has been developed for the determination of methotrexate (MTX) and its major metabolites, 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OH-MTX) and 2,4-diamino-N(10-) methylpteroic acid (DAMPA), in human plasma. After deproteinization of the plasma with 5% aqueous acetonitrile solution containing

Simple and convenient preparations of two metabolites of the antineoplastic drug methotrexate (MTX) are described. MTX is incubated in a Tris-HCl rabbit liver homogenate to produce 7-hydroxymethotrexate. Filtration, lyophilization, and recrystallization from water gives a chromatographically pure product. Analytical amounts
Rapid quantitation of methotrexate and its metabolites in human serum, urine and bile, using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography.

We have examined the metabolism of the folate analog methotrexate (MTX) in the human parasite Leishmania major. These cells readily hydrolyzed MTX to N-10-methyl-4-deoxy-4-aminopteroate (MAPA), such that following a 24-h incubation in 1 microM [3H]MTX approximately 30% of the cell-associated
