Compounds (20)

CompoundDescription
5-methyltetrahydrofolate
folic acidA member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (POACEAE). Folic acid is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia.
leucovorinThe active metabolite of FOLIC ACID. Leucovorin is used principally as an antidote to FOLIC ACID ANTAGONISTS.
Ammonium
Carbon DioxideA colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals.
glutamic acidA non-essential amino acid naturally occurring in the L-form. Glutamic acid is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
s-adenosylmethioninePhysiologic methyl radical donor involved in enzymatic transmethylation reactions and present in all living organisms. It possesses anti-inflammatory activity and has been used in treatment of chronic liver disease. (From Merck, 11th ed)
methionineA sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.
glycineA non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.
dihydrofolateRN given refers to (L)-isomer
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate
5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acidRN given refers to (DL)-isomer
5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate
SerineA non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids.
HomocysteineA thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of METHIONINE.
thymidine monophosphate5-Thymidylic acid. A thymine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the deoxyribose moiety.
5-formamidoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribotidepurine precursor
s-adenosylhomocysteine5'-S-(3-Amino-3-carboxypropyl)-5'-thioadenosine. Formed from S-adenosylmethionine after transmethylation reactions.
2'-deoxyuridylic acidRN given refers to parent cpd
aminoimidazole carboxamideAn imidazole derivative which is a metabolite of the antineoplastic agents BIC and DIC. By itself, or as the ribonucleotide, it is used as a condensation agent in the preparation of nucleosides and nucleotides. Compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases.
