SELECTIVE PROTON COUPLED FOLATE TRANSPORTER AND FOLATE RECEPTOR, AND GARFTASE AND/OR OTHER FOLATE METABOLIZING ENZYMES INHIBITOR COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Fused cyclic pyrimidine compounds, including tautomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, solvates and hydrates thereof, are disclosed having the general Formula II: These compounds are useful in methods for treating cancer, selectively targeting cancerous cells via the proton coupled folate transporter, folate receptor alpha, and/or folate receptor beta pathways, inhibiting GARFTase and/or other folate metabolizing enzymes in cancerous cells, and selectively targeting activated macrophages in a patient having an autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
