Metabolite Identification
Common Name(6R)-Folinic acid
DescriptionN5-Formyl-THF, also known as leucovorin or rescuvolin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydrofolic acids. These are heterocyclic compounds based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroic acid skeleton conjugated with at least one L-glutamic acid unit. N5-Formyl-THF exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, N5-formyl-THF is involved in the metabolic disorder called the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (mthfrd) pathway. N5-Formyl-THF is found, on average, in the highest concentration within lettuces (Lactuca sativa). This could make N5-formyl-THF a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N5-Formyl-THF is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on N5-Formyl-THF. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). (6r)-folinic acid is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically (6R)-Folinic acid is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
