Chemical Information
FooDB Name5-Formyltetrahydrofolic 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. 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. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on N5-Formyl-THF.
