Leucovorin

Description:
Leucovorin, also known as folinic acid, is a reduced form of folic acid that plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the synthesis of nucleic acids and amino acids. It is commonly used in medical settings as a rescue agent following methotrexate therapy, as it can help mitigate the drug's toxic effects on healthy cells by providing a source of active folate. Leucovorin is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, making it suitable for intravenous or oral administration. Its chemical structure includes a pteridine ring, a para-aminobenzoic acid moiety, and a glutamic acid residue, which contribute to its biological activity. Leucovorin is also utilized in combination with fluorouracil to enhance its efficacy in treating certain cancers. Due to its role in cellular metabolism, it is essential for proper DNA synthesis and repair, making it vital in both therapeutic and physiological contexts.

  • Folinic acid

    CAS:
    Folinic acid is a vitamin-B9 that is used as a cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA. It is also used to diagnose various infectious diseases, with high values found in patients with cancer or autoimmune diseases. Folinic acid has been shown to have dose-dependent effects on mammalian cells, exhibiting toxicities at higher concentrations. Folinic acid can be used to repair damaged DNA by acting as a glycosidase that breaks down the glycosidic bond between the base and sugar.
