Indications

PEMETREXED est un agent antinéoplasique antifolate multi-cible qui agit en interrompant des processus métaboliques folate-dépendants essentiels à la réplication cellulaire. Des études in vitro ont montré que le pémétrexed se comporte comme un anti-folate multi-cible en inhibant la thymidylate synthétase (TS), la dihydrofolate réductase (DHFR) et la glycinamide ribonucléotide formyltransférase (GARFT), qui sont des enzymes folate-dépendantes clés pour la biosynthèse de novo de la thymidine et des nucléotides puriques. Le pémétrexed est transporté dans les cellules à la fois par les systèmes de transport des folates réduits et les protéines membranaires transporteuses de folates. Une fois dans la cellule, le pémétrexed est rapidement et efficacement converti en formes polyglutamates par la folyl-polyglutamate synthétase. Ces formes polyglutamates sont retenues dans les cellules et sont des inhibiteurs encore plus puissants de la TS et de la GARFT. La polyglutamation est un processus temps et concentration-dépendant qui se déroule dans les cellules tumorales et, dans une moindre mesure, dans les tissus normaux. Les métabolites polyglutamatés ont une demi-vie intracellulaire augmentée, prolongeant l'action du produit dans les cellules tumorales. L’Agence européenne des médicaments a accordé une dérogation à l’obligation de soumettre les résultats d’études réalisées avec PEMETREXED dans tous les sous-groupes de la population pédiatrique dans les indications autorisées.
