摘要
More than 75 years after its accidental discovery, methotrexate remains an important treatment option for many diseases. Whether it is various hematological and non-hematological neoplasms, rheumatological, dermatological, or other conditions, methotrexate remains in scope. For rheumatoid arthritis, current clinical guidelines (EULAR, ACR) recommend methotrexate as the first therapeutic option. This article aims to highlight important moments in the history of this remarkable drug, to review the literature on its mechanisms of action and the arguments for which after more than half a century, methotrexate remains the gold standard in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis but also an important option for treatment of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
