It is classified as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) when used for autoimmune diseases and as a chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment. Methotrexate is a medication that has been used for several decades for the treatment of various cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites and is considered as a cytotoxic chemotherapy agent.

This prediction is primarily based on the increasing ageing population and is further accelerated by the rising incidence of risk factors such as smoking, unhealthy lifestyle, among others in various regions of the world. Thus, the rising prevalence of cancer is estimated to augment the market trends.

Development of novel drugs with an aim to achieve the unmet medical requirements are amongst the primary factors of research-based pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies’ growth. The pharmaceutical sector develops several novel drugs that offer valuable clinical benefits. The surging number of investments by government as well as private players are amongst the prime variables that will propel the number of pharmaceutical research and development activities.

Although methotrexate is well-established and primarily focused on optimizing its use in existing conditions such as cancer, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis, its potential new applications are being explored. For instance, the use of methotrexate in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis was investigated. This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of methotrexate in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, a type of inflammatory arthritis.
