== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FOLR1_HUMAN FOLR1_HUMAN] Neurodegenerative syndrome due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency (NCFTD) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613068 613068]: A neurodegenerative disorder resulting from brain-specific folate deficiency early in life. Onset is apparent in late infancy with severe developmental regression, movement disturbances, epilepsy and leukodystrophy. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FOLR1_HUMAN FOLR1_HUMAN] Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Targeted antifolates with heteroatom replacements of the carbon vicinal to the phenyl ring in 1 by N (4), O (8), or S (9), or with N-substituted formyl (5), acetyl (6), or trifluoroacetyl (7) moieties, were synthesized and tested for selective cellular uptake by folate receptor (FR) alpha and beta or the proton-coupled folate transporter. Results show increased in vitro anti-proliferative activity toward engineered Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing FRs by 4-9 over the CH2 analog 1. Compounds 4-9 inhibited de novo purine biosynthesis and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFTase). X-ray crystal structures for 4 with FRalpha and GARFTase showed that the bound conformations of 4 required flexibility for attachment to both FRalpha and GARFTase. In mice bearing IGROV1 ovarian tumor xenografts, 4 was highly efficacious. Our results establish that heteroatom substitutions in the 3-atom bridge region of 6-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines related to 1 provide targeted antifolates that warrant further evaluation as anticancer agents.
