Abstract The effects of normal metabolites on the toxicity and antitumor activity of methotrexate against leukemia L1210 in DBA/2J mice were evaluated by a system that allows for long-term continuous i.v. infusion of unrestrained mice. In normal female DBA/2J mice, the infusion of methotrexate alone for 48 hr produced a 50% lethal dose of 6 mg/kg/day. Coadministration of thymidine (5 g/kg/day) and methotrexate, followed by an additional 48 hr of thymidine alone, dramatically reduced toxicity… CONTINUE READING
