Description

Levoleucovorin calcium is the calcium salt of Levoleucovorin, which is the enantiomerically active form of folinic acid.IC50 value: Target: Levoleucovorin is used to treat or prevent toxic effects of methotrexate in people who have received methotrexate to treat bone cancer. Levoleucovorin is also used in combination chemotherapy with fluorouracil (5-FU) to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This medicine only treats the symptoms of colorectal cancer and

Calcium levofolinate Use and Manufacturing

intermediate from Folic Acid metabolism

Drug Function and Efficacy

Folinic acid is a mixture of diastereoisomers of the 5-formyl derivative of tetrahydrofolate (THF), and its biologically active substance is the levorotatory isomer called levofolinic acid. L-folinic acid (L-5-formyltetrahydrofolate) is rapidly metabolized to L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and can be metabolized to 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate through other pathways, which can stabilize the binding of deoxyfluorouracil nucleotides to thymidylate synthase, thereby enhancing the inhibitory effect on the enzyme. Folinic acid can offset the therapeutic effect and toxicity of hydrochloric acid antagonists (such as methotrexate) that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, and can enhance the efficacy and toxicity of fluoropyrimidines (such as 5-fluorouracil) in tumor treatment.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
