Aminopterin is a chemical compound primarily known for its use in medical and biochemical applications, particularly as an antineoplastic agent and in chemotherapy regimens. It acts as a folic acid antagonist, inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is crucial in DNA synthesis. This mechanism makes it effective in slowing down the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells. However, due to its high toxicity and severe side effects, its clinical use has been largely supplanted by less toxic derivatives like methotrexate.
