Methotrexate (INN, AAN, BAN and USAN; ), abbreviated MTX and formerly known as amethopterin, is an antimetabolite and antifolate drug.〔〔 It is used in treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, ectopic pregnancy, and for the induction of medical abortions.〔 It acts by inhibiting the metabolism of folic acid.〔
Methotrexate began to replace the more toxic antifolate aminopterin starting in the 1950s. The drug was originally synthesised by the Indian biochemist Yellapragada Subbarow and clinically developed by the American paediatrician Sidney Farber.〔 〕 It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medications needed in a basic health system. ==Medical uses==
