Alimta 100mg Online
Alimta (Pemetrexed) is an anti-cancer medicine to treat malignant pleural mesothelioma (A tumour of the tissue that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs). It is also indicated to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It should be used under the supervision of a qualified professional.
Pemetrexed belongs to a class of drugs known as antifolates. It interferes with cell metabolic processes that are dependent on folate and are required for cell replication. Pemetrexed inhibits three enzymes that are required for purine and pyrimidine synthesis. These three enzymes are thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). When Premetrexed inhibits the formation of precursor purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, it prevents the formation of DNA and RNA required for the growth and survival of both cancer and normal cells.
