Pharmaceutical Grade 99% CAS 150399-23-8 Pemetrexed Disodium
 

 
Pemetrexed disodium (marketed as ALIMTA®, "pemetrexed") is a novel, multi-targeted antifolate. It suppresses tumor growth by impeding both DNA synthesis and folate metabolism. Pemetrexed disodium has demonstrated promising clinical activity in a wide variety of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung, breast, mesothelioma, colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, bladder, cervix, and head and neck.
Pemetrexed disodium is approved to be used alone or with other drugs to treat malignant pleural mesothelioma in patients who cannot be treated with surgery and non-small cell lung cancer (certain types) in patients whose disease is locally advanced or has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body). Pemetrexed disodium is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer.
