Pemnat (Pemetrexed 500 mg) is an antifolate chemotherapy agent used for specific types of lung and lining cancers.

Mechanism of Action:

Pemetrexed disrupts folate-dependent metabolic processes essential for cell replication. By blocking these pathways, it inhibits the DNA and RNA synthesis in cancer cells, causing them to die.
