folate

Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is a vitamin B9 that is essential for the synthesis of DNA RNA and for the production and maintenance of new cells. Folic acid deficiency can lead to anemia, neural tube closure defects, tumors, aging, and other diseases.

Folic acid disodium, an orally active disodium salt form of Folic acid, showcases an intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) of 4.96·10^5 g/s [1]. It acts as a cofactor in single-carbon transfer reactions and has protective roles against neural tube defects, ischemic events, and cancer. However, an overload of Folic acid disodium can impair brain development during embryogenesis and encourage the growth of precancerous cells, whereas its deficiency results in megaloblastic anemia [2].

Folate sodium, as a member of the vitamin B family, can stimulate the hematopoietic system. Folic acid can be used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia.

Folic Acid-d4 is a deuterated compound of Folic Acid.
