Abstract excerpt
Trimetrexate, a lipid-soluble analogue of methotrexate, appears to enter mammalian cells by passive diffusion, thus circumventing the methotrexate transport system which is frequently a subject for alterations leading to methotrexate resistance. Using a single-step selection protocol with trimetrexate, we have isolated 45 clonal variants and found the majority of them to be selectively resistant to lipophilic...
