(6S)-Tetrahydrofolic acid
(6S)-Tetrahydrofolic acid ((6S)-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolic acid) is the C6 stereoisomer of tetrahydrofolic acid (Tetrahydrofolic acid) (HY-14520), as well as the only naturally active coenzyme form produced after the reduction of folic acid by dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). (6S)-Tetrahydrofolic acid is applicable for cancer research.
