Pemetrexed

培美曲塞

Mechanism of action:

Pemetrexed 是一種多靶點葉酸類抑制劑(multitarget antifolate)。Pemetrexed 進入細胞後,會被轉化為多麩胺酸化形式(polyglutamated pemetrexed),能抑制胸苷酸合成酶(thymidylate synthase)、二氫葉酸還原酶(dihydrofolate reductase)、甘氨醯胺核醣核苷酸甲醯轉移酶(glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase)等,導致嘌呤與嘧啶合成受阻,讓細胞無法正常進行 DNA 和 RNA 合成。
