Folinic acid (Leucovorin) is a biofolic acid that can be used in the treatment of methotrexate, often in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) to reduce MTX-induced toxicity, and can be used as an adjuvant treatment for colon cancer.

Description | Folinic acid (Leucovorin) is a biofolic acid that can be used in the treatment of methotrexate, often in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) to reduce MTX-induced toxicity, and can be used as an adjuvant treatment for colon cancer. |
In vitro | Methotrexate (MTX) alone induces a concentration-dependent increase in the percentage of micronucleated binucleated cells (MNBN) and abnormal cells (Abs). As the concentration of MTX increases, the nuclear division index (NDI) decreases. Similarly, the mitotic index (MI) also decreases at all tested concentrations of MTX. The addition of 50 μg/mL folinic acid significantly reduces the % MNBN (40-68%) and % Abs (36-77%). In the presence of 5 μg/mL folinic acid, inhibitory effects are observed as well (MNBN from 12% to 54%, Abs from 20% to 61%)[2]. |
In vivo | Treatment with folinic acid (7.0 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every other day; for 3 weeks) appears to reverse the growth inhibition induced by Methotrexate (MTX) administration in young male Balb/c mice. Long-term MTX administration is known to inhibit skeletal growth in mice[1]. |
