Pralatrexate (rINN), also known as 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin, common name PDX, is a drug candidate being studied for the treatment of cancer. PDX is a folate analog inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase. As of August 2008, it is undergoing Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (including T-cell lymphoma), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and bladder cancer.

Results in non-small cell lung cancer appear promising.
