folitixorin Biological Activity
| Description | Folitixorin (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate) is a cofactor and an analog of leucovorin. Folitixorin is a promising agent for modulation of 5-FU cytotoxicity in adjuvant cancer research[1][2]. |

| In Vitro | 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate into 5-methyltetrahy-drofolate, which is the major circulating form of folate[3]. |
|---|
| In Vivo | A colon adenocarcinoma cell suspension is inoculated intrahepatically in a rodent experimental model. Intravenous 5-FU (30 mg/kg) in combination with Folitixorin (15 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg) is administered after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days. 5-FU in combination with Folitixorin (regardless of folate-dose) eliminats tumor take[1]. |
