Biological Activity

Description Leucovorin (Folinic acid) Calcium Pentahydrate is a derivative of folic acid, which can be used to increase levels of folic acid under conditions favoring folic acid inhibition.Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.
Targets
thymidylate synthase [1]
In vitro
In vitro

Leucovorin administration increases the level of reduced folates in tissues, which promotes the inhibition of thymidylate synthase in two murine colon tumors. [1] Leucovorin, Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin, and 5-fluorouracil is a powerful antitumor and immunomodulating regimen that can make the tumor cells a suitable means to induce an Ag-specific CTL response. [2] Leucovorin (20 mM) increases the cytotoxicity in all three replicate experiments in 10 of the 11 human colorectal carcinoma cell lines. [3] Leucovorin enhances cytotoxicity of trimetrexate/fluorouracil, but not methotrexate/fluorouracil, in CCRF-CEM cells. [4] Leucovorin (LV) is a reduced folate cofactor that competes with RTX for transport and polyglutamation in both tumor and normal tissues and thus has potential as a rescue agent. Leucovorin reverses the growth-inhibitory, and potentially cytotoxic, effects of RTX on populations of viable cells. [5]
In Vivo
In vivo

Leucovorin (200 mg/kg), which is given after the onset of severe weight loss and diarrhea (twice daily, days 5-7) in mice, prevents further weight loss and induces earlier recovery. Leucovorin (100 or 200 mg/kg; twice daily on days 4-6) reduces the RTX concentration in the liver 2-4-fold on days 7, 9, and 11 compared with controls. [5] Leucovorin/5-FU and Gastrimmune (200 mg/mL) combinations (12.5 and 20 mg/kg) increase the therapeutic effects on the in vivo growth of DHDK12 tumors when compared to the agents given singly. [6]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
