Abstract
The methotrexate-induced inhibition of thymidylate and of purine synthesis has been studied in L-cells in tissue culture under conditions which permitted the separation of the two types of inhibition. Data are presented which suggest that under the conditions employed methotrexate may have sites of action in addition to its inhibition of folate and dihydrofolate reductase. These findings are discussed in relation to the strengths and weaknesses of the noe-site-of-action hypothesis.
