Pharmacology

Tetrahydrofolic corrosive's 5-formyl subordinate, folic corrosive, may exist. It quickly converts to other inferior folic acid subordinates (such as tetrahydrofolate), hence its vitamin transport is equivalent to that of folic acid. The ability of this vitamin to function as a vitamin is unaffected by medications that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, such as methotrexate, because it does not require this enzyme's activity for its transformation. This is typically how folic corrosive protection therapy is shown. However, it was shown in the 1980s that folacin corrosive can actually restart dihydrofolate reductase when methotrexate is present. Although the exact mechanism is unclear, it is believed that the polyglutamylation of methotrexate and dihydrofolate in threatening cells plays a significant role.

Folic acid, therefore, allows for some purine/pyrimidine blend to happen in the vicinity of dihydrofolate reductase hindrance, allowing for some common DNA replication forms to continue. Folic acid, in particular, causes dihydrofolate reductase to be specifically reactivated by folinic acid in typical cells.
