neural tube defects

Folic acid is an orally active essential nutrient involved in the synthesis of DNA/RNA and the production and maintenance of new cells. It exhibits antidepressant-like effects and can reduce the risk of neural tube defects in newborns. Folate deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia, macrocytic anemia, neural tube closure defects, tumors, and aging-related diseases. Folic acid is also commonly used in research on folate deficiency-related conditions and to induce acute kidney injury models.

Valproic acid hydroxamate (VPA-HA) exhibits anticonvulsant activity in a mouse model of neural tube defects and lacks teratogenic activity.

Hexaglutamate folate is a naturally occurring form of folic acid. The bioavailability of dietary folate may be limited by the need for the glutamate moieties to be deconjugated before absorption. Folate deficiency in humans results in anemia, neural tube

Levomefolate calcium pentahydrate is the calcium salt of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, a biologically active form of folic acid that functions, in conjunction with Vitamin B12. Levomefolate is included in formulations of certain oral contraceptives to ens

Homocystine is the double-bonded form of homocysteine, but it occurs only transiently before being converted to the harmless cystathionine via a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme. Increasing evidence supports a role for an elevation of homocysteine in schizophr

(±)-Pantothenic acid ((±)-Pantothenate), a B-vitamin, is crucial for coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis in mammalian cells and protects against valproic acid (VPA)-induced neural tube defects (NTD) in CD-1 mice [1].

Folic acid disodium is a water-soluble and essential B-complex vitamin for the human body, playing a key role in DNA synthesis and cell division. It is used to treat anaemia and foetal neural tube defects (NTDs) caused by folate deficiency.

Folic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Folic acid, primarily used for research and analytical applications. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is an orally active essential nutrient from the Vitamin B complex, playing a critical role in DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation. Folic acid exhibits neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects, significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects in newborns, and is utilized in studies of megaloblastic anemia caused by folate deficiency.
