Methotrexate, used as the first-choice disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in some cancer chemotherapy regimens, acts by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, which results in a relative deficiency of bioavailable folate. Its action as an anti-inflammatory is less clear. The abnormal synthesis of tetrahydrofolate interferes with thymidine metabolism and DNA synthesis. This leads to the nuclear-cytoplasmic maturation dissociation of the megaloblastic…
