Abstract excerpt
Pemetrexed, a new generation antifolate recently approved for the treatment of mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer, is an excellent substrate for the reduced folate carrier (RFC). To explore the carrier's effect on pemetrexed activity, RFC was inactivated in HCT-15 colon cancer cells by mutagenesis and PT632 selective pressure. A clone (PT1) was obtained with a glycine to arginine substitution at amino...
