General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Methotrexate is an antagonist of folic acid that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme, reversibly and results in impaired DNA synthesis and cellular replication. Methotrexate has been used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and also for maintenance therapy in childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).
