Cat. No.: HY-17556A
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Folinic acid (Leucovorin) disodium is a biological folic acid and is a forms of vitamin B9. Folinic acid disodium is generally administered along with Methotrexate (HY-14519) as a rescue agent to decrease MTX-induced toxicity. Folinic acid disodium and Sfluorouracil adjuvant chemotherapy shows effective in colon carcinoma.

    Effects of FOLFOX on surface PD-L1 expression on AGS cells. Cells were treated with FOLFOX (Leucovorin: 14 μM; 5-Fu: 200 μM; Oxaliplatin: 6 μM) for 48 h. Then, cells were co-stained with annexin V and PD-L1 antibody. Representative histogram showing surface PD-L1 expression. Red histogram: total cells. Purple histogram: annexin V-positive cells.

    In Vitro

    Folinic acid disodium (5, 50 μg/ml; 40 h) significantly reduces % micronucleated binucleated cells (MNBN) (40%-68%) and % aberrant cells (Abs) (36%-77%) in V79 cells that were treated with MTX at five different concentrations 5–100 mg/ml for 6 h[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Folinic acid disodium (7.0 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every second day; for 3 weeks; Balb/c young growing male mice) treatment following Methotrexate (MTX) administration appears to reverse this growth inhibition (Chronic administration of MTX induces suppression of skeletal growth in mice)[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: 24 Balb/c young growing male mice aged 3 weeks (11.88 ± 0.25 g)[2]
    Dosage: 7.0 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; every second day; for 3 weeks
    Result: Following MTX administration appears to reverse this growth inhibition.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
