Lometrexol (DDATHF; i.p.; 15-60 mg/kg; on gestation day 7.5) increases the rate of embryonic resorption and growth retardation in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Lometrexol (i.p.; 40 mg/kg) maximally inhibits GARFT activity after at 6 hours and thereafter gradually increases with time but remains significantly lower than control even at 96 hours. Levels of ATP, GTP, dATP and dGTP of NTDs embryonic brain tissue decreases significantly at 6 h, and more significantly over time[1]. Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice (7-8 week, 18-20 g)[1] Dosage: 15, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 60 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; on gestation day 7.5 Result: Increased the rate of embryonic resorption and growth retardation in a dose-dependent manner.
In Vitro
Lometrexol (DDATHF) induces abnormal proliferation and apoptosis exist in neural tube defects (NTDs)[1]. Lometrexol significantly reduces the expression of PH3[1].
