7-Hydroxymethotrexate-d₃  (Synonyms: 7-羟基甲氨蝶呤-d₃)

7-Hydroxymethotrexate-d₃ is the deuterium labeled 7-Hydroxymethotrexate. 7-Hydroxymethotrexate is a major metabolite of Methotrexate (MTX; HY-14519). Methotrexate, an antimetabolite and antifolate agent, inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby preventing the conversion of folic acid into tetrahydrofolate, and inhibiting DNA synthesis[1][2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[3].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
