Biological Activity for Pyrimethamine

Pyrimethamine is a potent inhibitor of multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters (K_i values are 46 and 77 nM for human MATE2-K-HEK293 and MATE1-HEK293 cells respectively). Also inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and STAT3. Decreases proliferation of human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cells.
