Diethyl N-[5-methylamino-2-thenoyl]-L-glutamate

N-[[5-(Methylamino)-2-thienyl]carbonyl]-L-glutamic Acid Diethyl Ester can be used as reactant/reagent for synthetic preparation of Raltitrexed (anticancer agent). An intermediate or impurity in the synthesis of Raltitrexed (R100500). Raltitrexed (R100500) is folate-based inhibitor of thymidylate synthase; rapidly and extensively metabolized to its more potent polyglutamate derivatives. Antineoplastic.
