Mechanism of Action of Pempro Pemetrexed Injection IP 500 mg

Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted antifolate that works by inhibiting several key enzymes involved in the folate-dependent metabolic processes essential for cell replication. These enzymes include thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). By inhibiting these enzymes, Pemetrexed disrupts DNA and RNA synthesis, leading to the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells. This mechanism helps to control the growth and spread of cancer, providing a targeted treatment approach for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer.
