151533-22-1 Description

Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate belongs to the folic acid family of vitamins (vitamin B9, folic acid), which is a coenzyme form of folic acid. Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-mthf) is a salt-forming methyl derivative form naturally produced by folic acid. 5-mthf is also known as L-methylfolate. It is the most biologically active and functional folic acid. In calcium salt form, it is easier to absorb than ordinary folic acid.

 

151533-22-1 Uses

  1. Mainly for folic acid antagonists (such as methotrexate, pyrimethamine, benzyl cefalexin and trimethoprim) antidote, it's usually used for prevention of methotrexate dose or overdose treatment caused severe toxic effects.
  2. Folic acid treatment of the following diseases, such as inflammatory diarrhea and protein-energy malnutrition (poor nutrition), pregnancy or infancy megaloblastic anemia caused by poor.
  3. As adjuvant therapy for colon cancer, rectal cancer.
  4. Combined with 5-FU and treatment of digestive tract tumors or other 5-FU-sensitive tumors. High-dose CF used in conjunction with 5-FU (LF), the basic programme is currently the treatment of colon and rectal cancer.
  5. For children with leukemia, lymphoma, and osteosarcoma, such as high dose MTX treatment when rescued.
