Folinic acid disodium
Based on 12 publication(s) in Google Scholar
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.

The corresponding panels show the activity of ODC, the corresponding monotherapy, and FOLFOX (0.5 µM Leucovorin, 5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin), measured by comparing ATP levels in CRC cells (colored bars) and healthy CCD841 colonic epithelial cells (black bars) with CTRL (<0.15% DMSO), thus obtaining the treatment window (TW).
