Patent coverage: 102,924 distinct patent families (398,396 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 4 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 392,229 (98%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

PharmGKB dosing guidelines (2) — CPIC / DPWG genotype-guided dosing for this drug (drug × pharmacogene):

GuidelineSourceGene(s)DosingRecommendation
Annotation of RNPGx Guideline for methotrexate and ABCB1, MTHFR, SLC19RNPGxABCB1;MTHFR;SLC19A1;SLCO1B1
Annotation of DPWG Guideline for methotrexate and MTHFRDPWGMTHFR

PharmGKB also curates 175 clinical and 1,054 variant annotation(s) for this drug (gene-keyed; see PharmGKB).

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.

5 molecules share ≥1 primary target. Top 5 by shared-target count:
