World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:19. [PMID: 38212758 PMCID: PMC10782754 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03287-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to provide a reference based on evidence for an individualized clinical medication of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in osteosarcoma patients by evaluating the effect of gene polymorphism on adverse reactions of HD-MTX usage. METHODS Several databases were combed for research on the association between gene polymorphisms and adverse reactions to HD-MTX up to January 2023. A meta-analysis and/or descriptive analysis on the incidence of HD-MTX-related adverse reactions were conducted by using clinical studies meeting inclusion criteria. RESULTS Twelve studies involving 889 patients were included. There were 8, 6, 5, and 4 studies related to MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, RFC1 G80A, and MDR1 C3435T polymorphisms, respectively. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the MTHFR C677T polymorphism was associated with G3-4 hepatotoxicity, G3-4 nephrotoxicity, G3-4 gastrointestinal toxicity, and G3-4 mucositis under the recessive genetic model (MM vs. Mm/mm). Limited research showed that MTHFR C677T was associated with G3-4 nephrotoxicity in the allelic genetic model (M vs. m). MTHFR A1298C polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of adverse reactions to HD-MTX usage, without statistical significance. This review's descriptive analysis showed no significant correlation between the RFC1 G80A, and MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and adverse reactions of HD-MTX. CONCLUSION The MTHFR C677T mutation may enhance the risk of HD-MTX adverse reactions in osteosarcoma patients. Existing studies have not found a significant correlation between the MTHFR A1298C, RFC1 G80A, and MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and adverse reactions caused by HD-MTX. Lastly, this conclusion was limited because of few studies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the establishment of a UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS method to determine methotrexate in postmortem biological samples and quantify the postmortem distribution of methotrexate in a case of fatal intoxication of this drug. A volume of 100 μL or 100 mg of postmortem specimens was precipitated with 400 μL of cold methanol and then analyzed using UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS. The validation parameters of the method were as follows: limit of quantification: 0.1−1.0 ng/mL or ng/g, coefficient of determination: >0.998 (R2), matrix effect, intra- and inter-day accuracies and precisions: not greater than 13.6%, 14.8% and 17.4%, respectively. The recoveries were: 89.0−113.6%. The postmortem distribution studies revealed methotrexate concentrations as follows: blood—7.2 ng/mL, vitreous humor—0.8 ng/mL, liver—43.7 ng/g, kidney—20.6 ng/g, bone marrow—29.9 ng/g, lumbar vertebra—20.0 ng/g. The highest concentrations of methotrexate after poisoning were found in the tissues with the most rapidly dividing cells. The method described is simple, precise and selective. Methotrexate concentrations can be routinely determined in postmortem specimens. Determination of methotrexate in the postmortem biological material is possible after a few days of intensive treatment.

Abstract
Iron is indispensable for cancer cell survival and cancer cells are more vulnerable to ferroptosis than normal cells. Ferroptosis holds promise for overcoming chemoresistance and inducing tumor immunogenic cell death, which offers new possibilities for cancer immunotherapy. However, the prevalence of immunogenic ferroptosis in cancer cells is diminished because of the high levels of reducing substances within tumor microenvironments. Ferroptosis-needed iron is overdose for livings, which is also an obstacle for effective immune responses. In this study, we construct self-assembled carrier-free nanoscale coordination polymers based on iron and methotrexate (MFe-NCPs). The low-dose-iron-induced immunogenic ferroptosis is obviously enhanced by methotrexate via inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase and abating substance reduction, respectively. Of note, MFe-NCPs sequentially promoted antigen presentation, immune activation, T cell infiltration and boosted the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Abstract
An innovative and sensitive HPLC-UV method for the extraction and quantification of methotrexate (MTX) in skin layers was developed and validated. Due to the physico-chemical characteristics of the drug and the nature of the tissue, it was necessary to use folic acid (FA) as internal standard for MTX quantification in the dermis. MTX (and FA) analysis was performed on a Phenomenex Jupiter C18 column, using 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.6) and methanol mixture (87:13, v/v) as mobile phase, pumped at 1 ml/min. The absorbance was monitored at 290 nm. The method resulted to be selective, linear in the range 0.11-8.49 μg/ml for extraction solvent and 0.05-8.94 μg/ml for pH 7.4 PBS, precise and accurate, with a LLOQ of 0.11 μg/ml (extraction solvent) and 0.05 μg/ml (pH 7.4 PBS). The method developed resulted to be suitable for the quantification of MTX in the skin layers at the end of in vitro permeation experiments; the overall mass balance was 96.5 ± 1.4 %, in line with the requirement of the OECD guideline for the testing of the chemicals (Skin absorption: in vitro method) (OECD, 2004).

Abstract
This study aimed to develop the Fenugreek seed mucilage-based pH-responsive hydrogel system in order to improve the oral bioavailability of methotrexate (MTX). Fenugreek seed mucilage (FSM) was extracted from Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds. F1-F9 formulations of pH-responsive hydrogels were prepared using various FSM ratios, methacrylic acid (MAA), and methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) via free radical polymerization technique. Swelling behavior and in vitro drug release studies of prepared hydrogels were evaluated. Toxicity studies of prepared hydrogels were performed on normal cells and on Wistar rats (n = 6). Moreover, in vivo pharmacokinetics parameters were studied on albino rabbits. Hydrogels formation was confirmed by FTIR analysis, thermal analysis and SEM studies. The maximum swelling of hydrogel was found to be 384.7% at pH 7.4. MTX-loaded hydrogel showed the controlled release of MTX up to 24 h following Super Case II transport. Prepared hydrogels exhibited no toxicity in normal cells as well as in experimental subjects. MTX loaded hydrogels exhibited less inhibition compared to free MTX on Hela cells. In Vivo studies revealed 7.5-fold improved oral bioavailability of MTX with higher Cmax (928 ng/mL). These results indicate that the pH-responsive hydrogel system based on FSM is a promising tool for the controlled delivery of MTX.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can improve clinical care when using drugs with pharmacokinetic variability and a narrow therapeutic window. Rapid, reliable, and easy-to-use detection methods are required in order to decrease the time of analysis and can also enable TDM in resource-limited settings or even at bedside. Monitoring methotrexate (MTX), an anticancer drug, is critical since it is needed to follow the drug clearance rate and decide how to administer the rescue drug, leucovorin (LV), in order to avoid toxicity and even death. We show that with the optimized nanopillar-assisted separation (NPAS) method using surface-enhanced Raman scattering, we were able to measure MTX in PBS and serum in the linear range of 5-150 μM and confirmed that MTX detection can be carried out even in the presence of LV. Additionally, when NPAS was combined with centrifugal filtration, a quantification limit of 2.1 μM for MTX in human serum sample was achieved. The developed detection method enables fast detection (10 min) and quantification of MTX from human serum (>90% accuracy). Furthermore, we show the potential of the developed method for TDM, when quantifying MTX from clinical samples, collected from patients who are undergoing high-dose MTX therapy.

Abstract
Low-dose methotrexate is the first-line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In vivo, methotrexate is converted into a series of methotrexate polyglutamates whose intracellular levels contribute significantly to its efficacy and toxicity. In this study, a novel high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to simultaneously determine erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates using stable isotope-labeled internal standards. Erythrocyte samples were precipitated by perchloric acid and then determined on an XBridge BEH C18 column with an XP vanguard precolumn in 12 min. The mobile phase consisted of 10 nM ammonium acetate (pH 10) and methanol under gradient elution. The detection was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode via an electrospray ionization source in positive ionization mode. The calibration curve for each metabolite was linear from 2.0 to 500.0 nmol/L (r2 > 0.99). The intraday and interday accuracies were between 93.0 and 107.0%, and the corresponding precisions were between 0.8 and 5.2%. The relative recovery ranged from 82.7 to 105.1%, and the relative matrix effect varied from 96.5 to 104.4%. The erythrocyte metabolites were stable for 30 days at -80°C. This simple and accurate method is applicable to routine monitoring of the concentration of erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates in patients to achieve individualized treatment.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity, the most important toxicity in high-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy, is partly caused by the formation of crystal deposits in the kidney due to poor water solubility of MTX and its metabolites 7-hydroxy methotrexate (7-OH MTX), deoxyaminopteroic acid (DAMPA) and 7-hydroxy deoxyaminopteroic acid (7-OH DAMPA). Plasma MTX level-guided urine alkalinization, leucovorin rescue and glucarpidase detoxification are common strategies to overcome MTX-related nephrotoxicity. However, overestimation is a problem for MTX analysis by immunoassays due to the cross-reactivity of MTX metabolites (7-OH MTX and DAMPA). An UHPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of MTX, 7-OH MTX, DAMPA and 7-OH DAMPA in human urine was developed, validated and applied in clinical practice. Samples were treated by one-step protein precipitation and analyzed within 3 min. The calibration range was 0.02 to 4 μmol/L for MTX and DAMPA, and 0.1 to 20 μmol/L for 7-OH MTX and 7-OH DAMPA. For all analytes, the intra-day and inter-day bias and imprecision were -8.0 to 7.6 and <9.0%, the internal standard normalized recovery and matrix factor were 92.34 to 109.49 and <20.68%. The plasma MTX and 7-OH MTX levels increased with the urine drug levels, age, serum creatinine and alanine transaminase, but urine could not replace blood for MTX monitoring due to their poor correlation (R2, 0.16 to 0.51). Dose-normalized urine and plasma MTX and 7-OH MTX levels were similar between different patient groups (urine pH <7 or ≥7). Due to the large inter-individual variance of the analytes levels in both plasma and urine, these findings should be treated with caution.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic (PK) study of anticancer drugs in cancer patients is highly crucial for dose selection and dosing intervals in clinical applications. Once an anticancer drug is administered, it undergoes various metabolic pathways; to determine these pathways, it is necessary to follow the administered drug in biological samples via different analytical methods. In addition, multi-drug quantification methods in patients undergoing multi-drug regimens of cancer therapy can have several benefits, such as reduced sampling time and analysis costs. In order to collect and categorize these studies, we conducted a systematic review of HPLC methods reported for the analysis of anticancer drugs in biological samples. A systematic search was performed on PubMed Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, and 116 studies were included. In summary of included studies, when the objective of a method was to quantify a single drug, MS, or UV detectors were utilized equivalently. On the other hand, in methods with the aim of quantifying drug and metabolite(s) in a single run, MS detectors were the most utilized. This review can provide a comprehensive insight for researchers prior to developing a quantification method and selecting a detector.

Abstract
For biological assessing of hospital personnel occupationally exposed to antineoplastic drugs, highly sensitive and accurate methods are required. Methotrexate (MTX) is an anticancer agent that is widely used in a variety of human cancers. For the first time, dispersive-micro solid phase extraction (D-µ-SPE) has been applied for determination of low levels of MTX in saliva samples. The method is based on rapid extraction of MTX using graphene oxide adsorbent. The sample preparation time is decreased by the fact that the adsorbent dispersed in the sample solution and extraction equilibrium can be reached very fast. This significant feature which obtained with this method is of key interest for routine trace laboratory analysis. The influence of different variables on D-µ-SPE was investigated. Under optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear over the range of 10-1000 ng/ml. The relative standard deviations are better than 9.0%. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of MTX in patient samples.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antagonist drug used for several diseases, such as cancers, various malignancies, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease. Due to its structural features, including the presence of two carboxylic acid groups and its low native fluorescence, there are some challenges to develop analytical methods for its determination. MTX is metabolized to 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OH-MTX), 2,4-diamino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA), and the active MTX polyglutamates (MTXPGs) in the liver, intestine, and red blood cells (RBCs), respectively. Additionally, the drug has a narrow therapeutic range; hence, its therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary to regulate the pharmacokinetics of the drug and to decrease the risk of toxicity. Due to environmental toxicity of MTX; its sensitive, fast and low cost determination in workplace environments is of great interest. A large number of methodologies including high performance liquid chromatography equipped with UV-visible, fluorescence, or electrochemical detection, liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis, UV-visible spectrophotometry, and electrochemical methods have been developed for the quantitation of MTX and its metabolites in pharmaceutical, biological, and environmental samples. This paper will attempt to review several published methodologies and the instrumental conditions, which have been applied to measure MTX and its metabolites within the last decade.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is an anticancer drug that is widely used in a variety of cancers including primary central nervous system lymphoma. It is also administrated in the treatment of some autoimmune diseases. A simple, accurate, sensitive, and precise mixed hemimicelles dispersive micro-solid phase extraction was proposed for MTX quantification in human urine samples. MTX was quantified by spectrophotometer after dispersive micro-solid phase extraction using ionic liquid functionalized magnetic graphene oxide/polypyrrole. Interactions of adsorbent and MTX were modeled by molecular docking and the interaction energy was predicted to be -8.35 kcal/mol. A larger absolute value of binding energy represents larger adsorption strength, indicating that graphene oxide nanosheets could perform higher adsorption strength toward MTX. The concentrations of MTX were proportional to analytical response in amounts ranging from 10 to 1000 ng/mL with a good correlation (R2 = 0.99). Inter- and intra-day precisions and accuracies were within the acceptable limit according to FDA guideline (15% for biological determination). The recoveries were ranging from 89 to 93% and the method was specific for routine analysis of MTX. This protocol was applied to the urine of two patients under MTX therapy received an intravenous administration of 1 mg/kg/dose of MTX with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The accuracy of the method was confirmed by HPLC measurements.

Abstract
Lanreotide (LT), a synthetic analog of somatostatin, has been demonstrated to specifically bind to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), which are widely overexpressed in several types of cancer cells. In this study, we incorporated a chemotherapeutic agent, methotrexate (MTX), and a photosensitizer material, polyaniline (PANI), into hybrid polymer nanoparticles (NPs), which could target cancer cells after conjugation with LT (LT-MTX/PANI NPs). The successful preparation of LT-MTX/PANI NPs was confirmed by a small particle size (187.9 ± 3.2 nm), a polydispersity index of 0.232 ± 0.011, and a negative ζ potential of -14.6 ± 1.0 mV. Notably, LT-MTX/PANI NPs showed a greater uptake into SSTR-positive cancer cells and thereby better inhibited cell viability and induced higher levels of apoptosis than MTX, PANI NP, and MTX/PANI NP treatments did. In addition, the heat associated with the burst drug release induced by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation resulted in remarkably enhanced cell apoptosis, which was confirmed by an increase in the expression levels of apoptotic marker proteins. In agreement with the in vitro results, the administration of the SSTR-targeting NPs, followed by NIR exposure, to xenograft tumor-bearing mice resulted in an improved suppression of tumor development compared to that shown by MTX, PANI NPs, and MTX/PANI NPs, as well as by LT-MTX/PANI NPs without photothermal therapy. Thus, the SSTR-targeting NPs could be a promising delivery system for the effective treatment of SSTR-positive cancers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Somatostatin receptors are widely overexpressed in several types of cancer cells. In this study, we designed nanoparticles for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to tumor sites by conjugating hybrid polymers with a synthetic analog of somatostatin, specifically binding to somatostatin receptors. In addition, a photosensitizer material, polyaniline, was incorporated into the nanoparticles for combined chemo-photothermal therapy. The results demonstrated clear advantages of the newly designed targeted nanoparticles over their non-targeted counterparts or a free chemotherapeutic drug in inhibiting the viability of cancer cells in vitro and targeting/suppressing the tumor growth in an animal xenograft model. The study suggests that the designed nanoparticles are a promising delivery system for the effective treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive cancers.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate drug used for several diseases. Depending on the disease, MTX can be administered at low dose (LDMTX) in some autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, or at high dose (HDMTX) in some cancers, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After absorption, MTX is metabolized in the liver to 7-hydroxymethotrexate and in the intestine to 2,4-diamino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA). Moreover, inside red blood cells, MTX is converted to active metabolites, MTX polyglutamates (MTXPGs), contributing to its pharmacodynamics. Owing to its narrow therapeutic range, and inter- and intra-patient variability, either noneffectiveness and/or toxicity may occur. Because of the existence of a relationship between drug therapeutic outcome and its systemic concentration, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may ensure the effectiveness and safety of MTX use. In order to monitor the optimization of patient clinical response profile, several analytical methods have been described for TDM in biological samples. These include liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with ultraviolet detection, fluorescence detection or mass spectrometry, each one presenting advantages and drawbacks. This paper reviews the most commonly used techniques for sample preparation and critically discusses the current LC methods applied for the TDM of MTX in biological samples, at LDMTX and HDMTX.

Abstract
An overview of the state-of-the art in HPLC coupled with fluorescence detection is presented. Over the last 20 years, the increasing number of methodological papers on this topic (4082 between 1994 and 2004 and 7725 between 2004 and 2014) is testament to its utility in bioanalytical applications. Compared with conventional UV absorbance detection used in HPLC, fluorescence detection can greatly enhance the sensitivity leading to limits of detection similar to those obtained with mass spectrometry, offering researchers a sensitive, robust and relatively inexpensive instrumental method. This work will focus on the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds in different biological matrices, either naturally fluorescent or derivatized with a fluorescent agent, and some of them chiral. Therapeutic applications, sample preparation and derivatization, sensitivity for each example are described.

Abstract
Anti-cancer drugs are an important class of pharmaceutical products. Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist used in high doses as antimetabolite in anti-cancer treatment as well as in low doses for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and adults' psoriasis. In the past, several anti-cancer drugs, including methotrexate, have been found in the environment. Their presence in water, especially if used for the production of drinking water, is even in low concentrations of particular interest, due to the risk to retrieve them in the consumed water and their high activity and grave effects. But prior to usage as drinking water, raw waters are treated and chlorination is a common practice in several countries. As such a treatment can lead to the formation of organochlorine in water, the study of the fate of MTX during chlorination in a batch trial was carried out. The reaction was monitored by dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and by fluorescence and UV spectroscopy. Investigation of by-products formed was done with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Under the given experimental conditions, Methotrexate was eliminated rapidly (t1/2 around 21 min). However, DOC elimination was incomplete. Monitoring with LC-MS showed the formation of a monochlorinated transformation product of MTX. In silico analysis of the proposed transformation products for different carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic endpoints with different software platforms provided no clear evidence that the possible transformation products after chlorination might be more toxic than the parent compound. However, since a number of alerts is altered after chlorination, it cannot be excluded that the toxicity of these transformation products might be modulated compared with the parent compound.

Abstract
AbstractA glassy carbon electrode (GC) containing multiwalled functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) immobilized within a dihexadecylhydrogenphosphate film (DHP) is proposed as a nanostructured platform for determination of methotrexate (MTX) concentration (a drug used in cancer treatment) using differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV). The voltammograms for a MTX solution using MWCNTs-DHP/GC electrode presented an oxidation peak potential at 0.98 V vs. Ag/AgCl (3.0 mol L−1 KCl) in a 0.1 mol L−1 sulphuric acid. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 0.46 s−1 was calculated. The recovery area of 2.62×10−9 mol cm2 was also obtained. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the analytical curve was linear in the MTX concentration range from 5.0×10−8 to 5.0×10−6 mol L−1, with a detection limit of 3.3×10−8 mol L−1. The MWCNTs-DHP/GC electrode can be easily prepared and was applied for the determination of MTX in pharmaceutical formulations, with results similar to those obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatography comparative method.

Abstract
RATIONALE Methotrexate (MTX) is an antineoplastic therapeutic medicine that acts as an antimetabolite of folic acid. In this study we identified the impurities in MTX drug substances produced by different manufacturers and in different batches using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (HPLC-PDA/FTICR-MS). METHODS MTX and its impurities were separated on a Restek Pinnacle II C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a gradient elution system composed of 0.2% formic acid and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Ultraviolet (UV) detection was set at 305 nm. Mass detection was carried out using FTICR-MS with full-scan mass analysis at a resolving power of 100 000 coupled with multiple-stage mass analysis using a parent list of compounds. RESULTS Fifteen impurities were detected in MTX drug substances, and their structures were predicted from using HPLC-PDA/FTICR-MS data, including their UV spectra, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), fragmentation patterns, and MS(n) spectra. Ten of the impurities detected in the MTX drug substances are reported for the first time. There was a high abundance of esterified impurities in some batches of MTX drug substances, over the identification threshold of International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, which requires particular attention. CONCLUSIONS This paper describes a HPLC-PDA/FTICR-MS method to profile and identify impurities in MTX drug substances. The results suggest that HPLC-PDA/FTICR-MS is a valuable analytical technique for the rapid identification of impurities.

Abstract
A new simple, sensitive and precise green analytical procedure using an automated packed-reactor derivatization technique coupled with on-line solid-phase enrichment (SPEn) has been developed and evaluated to determine trace levels of methotrexate (MTX). The method was based on injection of MTX into a flowing stream of phosphate buffer (0.04 M, pH 3.4), carried through the packed oxidant reactor of Cerium (IV) trihydroxyhydroperoxide for oxidative cleavage of the drug into highly fluorescent product, 2,4-diaminopteridine-6-carboxylic acid, followed by SPEn on a head of short ODS column (10 mm×4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size). The flow rate was 0.25 mL/min and packed reactor temperature was 40 °C. The trapped product was back-flush eluted from the ODS column to the detector by column-switching with an environmentally friendly mobile phase consisting of ethanol and phosphate buffer (0.04 M, pH 3.4) in the ratio of 5:95 (v/v). The eluent was monitored at emission and excitation wavelengths of 460 and 360 nm, respectively. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 1.25–50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.08 ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to determine MTX in pharmaceutical formulations with mean percentage recovery ranging from 99.48 to 99.60.

Abstract
Mizoribine is administered orally and excreted into urine without being metabolized. Many research groups have reported a linear relationship between the dose and peak serum concentration, between the dose and AUC, and between AUC and cumulative urinary excretion of mizoribine. In contrast, a significant interindividual variability, with a small intraindividual variability, in oral bioavailability of mizoribine is also reported. The interindividual variability is mostly considered to be due to the polymophisms of transporter genes. Methotrexate (MTX) is administered orally and/or by parenteral routes, depending on the dose. Metabolic enzymes and multiple transporters are involved in the pharmacokinetics of MTX. The oral bioavailability of MTX exhibits a marked interindividual variability and saturation with increase in the dose of MTX, with a small intraindividual variability, where the contribution of gene polymophisms of transporters and enzymes is suggested. Therapeutic drug monitoring of both mizoribine and MTX is expected to improve their clinical efficacy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
