Product Description
Talotrexin ammonium is a novel and potent ammonium salt of an antimetabolite analogue of aminopterin
Talotrexin ammonium (CAS#: 648420-92-2), also known as PT523 monoammonium, is an ammonium salt of talotrexin, an analogue of aminopterin with potential antineoplastic activity. It is a nonpolyglutamatable classic antifolate.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Talotrexin targets dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), a key enzyme in folate metabolism. It is a reduced folate carrier (RFC) specific inhibitor and selectively inhibits RFC transport.
ln Vitro
In vitro, talotrexin ammonium inhibits tumor growth by targeting DHFR. It binds to and inhibits the function of DHFR, resulting in inhibition of folate metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cell division.
ln Vivo
In vivo, talotrexin ammonium has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in a wide range of cancer models. It improves anti-tumor activity by targeting DHFR.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for talotrexin typically involve evaluating its inhibitory activity against purified DHFR using spectrophotometric assays. IC50 values are determined by measuring the inhibition of DHFR-mediated reduction of dihydrofolate.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, talotrexin ammonium is dissolved in aqueous buffers and applied to cultured cancer cells at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 10 µM. Effects on cell proliferation, DNA synthesis, and cell cycle progression are assessed after 24-72 hours of treatment.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies commonly use mouse xenograft models. Talotrexin ammonium is administered intravenously or intraperitoneally at doses ranging from 0.1-10 mg/kg. Anti-tumor efficacy is evaluated by measuring tumor volume, tumor weight, and histopathology.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Talotrexin ammonium has a molecular formula of C27H30N10O6 and a molecular weight of 590.59 g/mol. It is hydrosoluble.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Talotrexin ammonium has a manageable toxicity profile. As an antifolate, it may cause myelosuppression and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Additional Infomation
Tarlotrexate ammonium salt is the ammonium salt of tarlotrexate, an analogue of aztreon, and possesses potential antitumor activity. As a folate antagonist, tarlotrexate binds to and inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, thereby suppressing folate metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Tarlotrexate is water-soluble and can be actively transported into cells via reduced folate carriers (RFCs), thus it is unlikely to be associated with P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance.
Talotrexin ammonium is a nonpolyglutamatable classic antifolate that has been developed as a potential antineoplastic agent. It is an analogue of aminopterin with improved properties.

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)
