Description

Folitixorin, a thymidylate synthase inhibitor is a substrate used by the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) to generate 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Folitixorin was studied in clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer and for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Folitixorin had been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in both the U.S. and EU. However, further development of this drug was discontinued.
