leucovorin

Folinic acid calcium (Leucovorin Calcium) is the active metabolite of folic acid. Leucovorin is used principally as an antidote to folic acid antagonists.

Folinic acid (Leucovorin) is a biofolate used in the treatment of methotrexate (MTX) toxicity reduction and as an adjuvant therapy for colon cancer.

6R-Leucovorin is a derivative of Folic Acid.

Levoleucovorin Calcium (CL307782), a calcium salt of the folinic acid, is used in cancer chemotherapy as an adjuvant.

Levoleucovorin, as a folate analog, consists of the pharmacologically active isomer of leucovorin.

Anhydroleucovorin is the predominant, biologically active form of vitamin B9 (folate) that is utilized by the body for a multitude of vital cellular functions, including DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation, as well as the production of key neurotransmitters; Anhydroleucovorin plays an essential metabolic role in the remethylation pathway, converting the amino acid homocysteine to methionine, and serves as the main folate form found in systemic circulation and transported into tissues for physiological use.
