Methods of using methotrexate (MTX) active agents in which reduced host toxicity is observed are provided. In the subject methods, an effective amount of an MTX active agent is administered to the host in conjunction with the administration of an MTX toxicity reducing agent of the present invention. Also provided are compositions for use in practicing the subject methods, e.g., pharmaceutical compositions having reduced toxicity, in which the MTX active agent is combined with an MTX toxicity reducing agent that reduces the level of undesired MTX toxicity while maintaining an effective MTX anti-proliferative activity. Also provided are methods of using the subject methods and compositions in the treatment of a variety of different disease conditions.
