Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Renoprotective Effects of Valsartan in Methotrexate-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in RatsDina KutbiMethotrexate (MTX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent known for its nephrotoxic effects, which can lead to acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients. However, the mechanism by which MTX induces nephrotoxicity is not entirely clear, but it is believed to involve oxidative stress and direct toxic effects on renal tubules. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, has been shown to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 4 May 2024 · 4,571 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Silico and in Vitro Studies: Tryparedoxin Peroxidase Inhibitor Activity of Methotrexate for Antileishmanial ActivityRavi Kumar Gundampati, Shraddha Sahu, Avinash Kumar Srivastava et al.In order to understand the mechanism of molecular interactions at the active site of Tryparedoxin Peroxidase (Try P), homology modeling and docking studies were performed. We generated a Three-Dimensional (3D) model of target protein based on the Crystal structure of Leishmania Major Try PI (PDB ID: 3TUE) using modeler software. Docking analysis was carried out to study the effects of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2013 · 7,893 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHepatoprotective Effect of Taurine Against Oxidative Stress Due to Methotrexate in RatE. Issabeagloo, M. Taghizadiyeh, P. KermanizadehProblem statement: Taurine, 2-aminoethanesulphonic acid is an essential amino acid. It is present at high concentrations in many tissues. It plays important roles in numerous physiological functions including conjugation with bile acids, modulation of calcium levels and maintenance of osmolarity, antioxidation and stabilization of membranes. Methotrexate (MTX), as the most disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug used for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), has … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,495 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnomalies in a Fetus Exposed to Methotrexate in the First TrimesterLandon B. Lorenz, Eric J. KnudtsonThe increasing use of methotrexate for multiple indications in reproductive age women will likely lead to more frequent incidence of fetal exposure. Methotrexate is sometimes used for medical termination of first trimester pregnancy in combination with misoprostol. Teratogenesis in women exposed to low-dose methotrexate used for treatment of rheumatic conditions has been reported, but it has also been suggested that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,653 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Synthesis of Diaminotriazines as Anti-Tuberculosis DHFR InhibitorsArundhati C Lele, Archana Raju, M.K. Ray et al.A series of novel 2,4 diamino-s-triazine was designed as potential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Dihydro folate reductase inhibitors. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in whole cells by employing Resazurin Microtitre Plate Assay (REMA) against Mtb H37Rv, using known DHFR inhibitors Methotrexate and Trimethoprim as standard drugs. The most active compound in the whole cell assay was selected for DHFR enzyme assay … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2015 · 14,716 accessesView PDF Cite
