“Our study reveals that conjugation of methotrexate with glucose significantly increases drug uptake and results in similar cytotoxicity of the synthesized compound.”
“ Parenteral glucose feeding produced a protective effect on the isolated liver against the detrimental action of both methotrexate and cyclophosphamide.”

“The injection of sarcolysine, methotrexate , thiophosphamide, cyclophosphamide, adryamycin and platidinum during glucose infusion is shown to increase their antitumour activity.”
“1 hour prior to methotrexate prevented the inhibition of transmucosal transport of both glucose and tyrosine.”
“ Glucose also reduced the body weight loss caused by methotrexate.”
“The data suggest that coadministration of glucose with methotrexate may have a potential clinical value, since glucose may alleviate the toxic effects of methotrexate in patients receiving this drug.”

“Using the everted sac technique, the rates of D-glucose and L-tyrosine transport were decreased by MTX to 10.9 and 6.3 mumol/g/h from control values of 35.0 and 10.0 mumol/g/h, respectively.”
“However, glucose or azide increased the fraction of dihydrofolate reductase associated with methotrexate and abolished the effect of tetrahydrofolates on this intracellular component.”
