Folitixorin is a reduced form of folate and cofactor for thymidylate synthetase, the enzyme that catalyzes the methylation of deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP).1,2 It forms a ternary complex with thymidylate synthetase and fluorodeoxyuridylate (FdUMP), the active metabolite of 5-fluorouracil , that inhibits thymidylate synthetase activity and DNA synthesis.3,2 Folitixorin has synergistic or additive cytotoxic effects against LS 174 or HT-29 human colon cancer cells, respectively, when used in combination with 5-fluorouracil.4 In vivo, folitixorin (0.6 mg/animal) increases survival and reduces tumor growth in an HT-29 mouse xenograft model when administered in combination with 5-fluorouracil.5
