Application Notes

Pteroic acid is an endogenous degradation product of folic acid (pteroyl glutamic acid). Pteroic acid is able to mediate the selective delivery of ligands to tumors overexpressing the folate receptor despite having minimal affinity, further stimulating research into the antitumor activity of pteroic acid conjugates. Investigation into the SAR of the ability of folate and pteroic acid conjugates of the hydroxamide histone deacetylase inhibitors to target folate receptor overexpressing cancer cells, showed that pteroic acid hydroxamates but not folate hydroxamates displayed anticancer activities against the folate receptor positive (FRþ) tumors KB and HeLa.
