Raltitrexed (112887-68-0) is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase with significantly increased potency in many cancer cell lines when compared with 5-fluorouracil.1,2  It is also an inhibitor of the methyltransferase G9a (IC50 = 120 nM) and decreased Aß aggregates in C. elegans indicating therapeutic potential for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.3
