Drug Action Pathway
Created: 2023-06-15
Last Updated: 2023-10-25
Pralatrexate is a folate analog, used for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Administered intravenously it acts to inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, specifically in cancer cells that have an overexpression of a transporter known as reduced folate carrier protein-1. This transporter is responsible for moving folate that is required for DNA synthesis and replication, without the folate the cancer cells cannot rapidly replicate. Pralatrexate also is affected by folyopolyglutamate synthase, allowing the drug to stay within the body for a longer period of time. It is eliminated via the urine and has a half-life of 12-18 hours.
