          Background

          Folinic acid, clinically known as leucovorin, is a ubiquitous member of biological folate pools, usually accounting for 10 ~ 20% of total cellular folates. Folinic acid can reduce methotrexate (MTX)-induced cytogenetic damage, and appears to be an anticlastogenic agent. Folinic acid serves as a rescue agent used alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil to decrease MTX-induced toxicity.
