title: Antirheumatic agents. III. Novel methotrexate derivatives bearing an indoline ring and a modified ornithine or glutamic acid.
abstract: The synthesis, biological profile and structure-activity relationship of various methotrexate (MTX) derivatives bearing an indoline ring are described. In particular, Nb-(3-carboxyphenyl)-N alpha-[1-[(2,4-diaminopteridin-6-yl)-methyl] indoline-5-ylcarbonyl]-L-glutamine (3d), compared to MTX, exhibited an enhanced anti-proliferative effect on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from healthy volunteers.
