Aminopterin sodium is an antineoplastic drug with immunosuppressive properties often used in chemotherapy. Aminopterin is a synthetic analogue of pterin. Aminopterin works as an enzyme inhibitor by competing for the folate binding site of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. Its binding affinity for dihydrofolate reductase effectively blocks tetrahydrofolate synthesis. This results in the depletion of nucleotide precursors and inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis.
