Folic Acid In subject area: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Science The “folate metabolic pathway” (or “folate pathway”) refers to the network of interrelated biochemical reactions through which one-carbon (methyl) groups are transferred between various compounds. ...
Inhibition of a Unique Bacterial Metabolic Pathway Sulfonamides and trimethoprim target thefolic acidbiochemical pathway of bacteria. These antibacterial compounds are termed folic acid pathway inhibitors. Sulfonamides interfere with the formation of folic acid, an essential precursor for nucleic acid synthesis...

7,8 Genetic polymorphisms in folate metabolic pathways are associated with autism.9 In the general population, periconceptional folic acid supplements reduce the risk of autism spectrum disorders.10,11 However, to our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated whether this reduced risk also ...
The risk of NTDs is greatly reduced by folic acid (FA) taken as a supplement starting from at least one month before conception and continuing throughout the first trimester of pregnancy1,11. The folate metabolic pathway plays a crucial role in nucleotide biosynthesis, proper cell proliferation ...

These suggest that folic acid-modified TPGS (FA-TPGS) can be used to encapsulate siXBP1s to target hepatic pro-inflammatory macrophages. Herein, we prepared hybrid FA-TPGS by a simple cross-linking action for stable and effective delivery of siRNA to specifically knockdown XBP1 (named FT@XBP1)...
The present study aimed to determine the folic acid supplement (FAS) effects on serum homocysteine and sortilin levels, glycemic indices, and lipid profile in type II diabetic patients. A double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial have been perfor
54.8.1 Metabolic Role and Effect of Deficiency Folates refer to a group of one-carbon derivatives of the folic acid (Fig. 54.1) that are required for the synthesis of pyrimidine and purine nucleotides, precursors of DNA and RNA, respectively. Folate is also involved in the metabolism of seve...
Folic acid antagonists Previously, folic acid antagonists, which are known to be highly embryolethal, were used in clinical trials as abortifacients (agents causing abortion). Although three-fourths of the pregnancies were terminated, almost one-fourth of the embryos that survived to term were ...
