Methotrexate is an antimetabolite drug primarily used to treat a variety of diseases, with its efficacy manifested mainly in the following aspects:

I. Anti-cancer Effect
Methotrexate primarily inhibits the activity of dihydrofolate reductase, blocking the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, thereby interfering with the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and achieving an anti-cancer effect. Clinically, methotrexate is often used to treat a variety of malignant tumors, including but not limited to:

• Leukemia: such as acute lymphocytic leukemia, central nervous system leukemia, etc.
• Lymphoma: including malignant lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, etc.
• Solid tumors: such as lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and various soft tissue sarcomas.

II. Immunosuppressive Effect
Methotrexate also has a strong immunosuppressive effect, selectively acting on proliferating cells and inhibiting the division and proliferation of immune mother cells, thereby inhibiting both humoral and cellular immunity. This makes methotrexate efficacious in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as:

• Rheumatoid arthritis: Methotrexate reduces inflammatory responses by inhibiting the proliferation and activation of immune cells, thereby alleviating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
• Psoriasis: Low doses of methotrexate can be used to treat psoriasis, improving patients' skin symptoms through its immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Other autoimmune diseases: Methotrexate also has a certain therapeutic effect on conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and dermatomyositis.

III. Other Effects
In addition to its anti-cancer and immunosuppressive effects, methotrexate also has the following effects:

• Anti-infective: Methotrexate can interfere with bacterial folate metabolism, thereby achieving an antibacterial effect. However, it should be noted that it is not a traditional antibiotic drug, and its anti-infective effect is relatively limited.
• Analgesic and Antipyretic: In cases of fever, methotrexate can be used under medical guidance for treatment, exerting analgesic and antipyretic effects.
