AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
Pemetrexed disodium is a folate-dependent antimetabolite administered intravenously that inhibits multiple enzymes essential for cell replication, including thymidylate synthase and dihydrofolate reductase. It is used to treat solid tumors by blocking nucleotide synthesis and preventing cancer cell division. The drug is converted intracellularly to active polyglutamate forms that are retained in cells for prolonged activity.
