Product Description

Pemetrexed Disodium Hydrate (LY-231514; HSDB-7316; trade name Alimta), the hydrated disodium salt of Pemetrexed which is a synthetic pyrimidine-based antifolate, is a novel antifolate and antimetabolite anticancer drug targeting TS, DHFR and GARFT with Ki of 1.3 nM, 7.2 nM and 65 nM, respectively. Pemetrexed exhibits high autitumor activity in a broad range of tumors such as NSCLC/non-small cell lung carcinoma, malignant mesothelioma, and carcinomas of the breast, colorectum, uterine cervix, head and neck, and bladder.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Pemetrexed (LY231514) disodium neoplasm is a novel family of classical antifolate medications whose anti-activity may result from its polyglutamate promoter's simultaneous and cooperative suppression of multiple essential folate enzyme needs. One of the most well-known enzyme FPGS substrates is pemetrexed (LY231514), with a Km of 1.6 μM and a Vmax/Km of 621. The selectivity and antitumor efficaciousness of LY231514 may be determined by its polyglutamate and polyglutamic acid auxiliaries. Although TS is inhibited by LY23l5l4 alone (Ki=340 nM in recombinant mice), LY23l5l4's glutamic acidity is strong. One of the most potent folic acid TS is LY231514, which is 100 times higher (Ki=3.4 nM) [1].
ln Vivo
Statistically speaking, the mice in the PC61 plus pemetrexed group survived longer than the other groups. According to survival analysis, mice treated with PC61 with pemetrexed had a considerably higher survival rate than mice treated with PC61 alone, rat IgG plus pemetrexed, or no therapy at all [2].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in DMSO and then diluted in water; 100, or 150 mg/kg; i.p. injection
EMT-6 mammary carcinoma, the human HCT 116 colon carcinoma, and the human H460 non-small cell lung carcinoma are injected s.c. into the nude mice.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
