Product Name :Methotrexate intermediate
CAS:52853-40-4
Methotrexate intermediate (CAS: 52853-40-4) is a key synthetic precursor for the antineoplastic agent methotrexate. Its molecular formula is C16H13N7O3. The core process involves the condensation of 4-amino-4-deoxypteridine derivatives with specific benzoyl groups.
Strictly controlled as a pharmaceutical intermediate; requires storage in cool, dry conditions away from moisture. Handling mandates PPE due to potential toxicity and mutagenic risks associated with pteridine structures.
