Use | For the treatment of psoriasis and other skin diseases, can also be used for the treatment of acute and subacute childhood leukemia |
In vitro study | The IC 50 value of Aminopterin (4-Aminofolic acid) against CCRF-CEM cells during 72 h of exposure is 4.4 nM. Aminopterin (4-Aminofolic acid) produces a marked inhibition of mitosis in low concentrations in human leukemic leukocytes. |

Biological activity | Aminopterin acid, a 4-amino derivative of folic acid, is a folic acid antagonist. Aminopterin catalyzes the reduction of folic acid to tetrahydrofolate, Aminopterin competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) with a Ki value of 3.7 pM. Aminopterin have anti-cancer and immunosuppressive activities. Aminopterin is used to study childhood leukemia. |
use | antineoplastic drugs. Treatment of psoriasis skin disease, can also be used to treat acute, subacute childhood leukemia. It is used to treat skin diseases such as psoriasis, and can also be used to treat acute and subacute childhood leukemia |
