There is one exact (name or code) match for folic acid

 
Status:
First approved in 1946

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)



Folic Acid is a B complex vitamin containing a pteridine moiety linked by a methylene bridge to para-aminobenzoic acid, which is joined by a peptide linkage to glutamic acid. Conjugates of Folic Acid are present in a wide variety of foods, particularly liver, kidneys, yeast and leafy green vegetables. Commercially available Folic Acid is prepared synthetically. Folic Acid occurs as a yellow or yellowish-orange crystalline powder and is very slightly soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. Aqueous solutions of Folic Acid are heat sensitive and rapidly decompose in the presence of light and/or riboflavin; solutions should be stored in a cool place protected from light. Folic Acid is effective in the treatment of megaloblastic anemias due to a deficiency of Folic Acid (as may be seen in tropical or nontropical sprue) and in anemia of nutritional origin, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood. Folic Acid is relatively nontoxic in man. Rare instances of allergic responses to Folic Acid preparations have been reported and have included erythema, skin rash, itching, general malaise, and respiratory difficulty due to bronchospasm. Endocyte is developing an intravenous (IV) formulation of folic acid, called Neocepri®, which is intended for the diagnosis of positive folate receptor-positive status in patients with ovarian cancer when administered prior to the radioactive medicine, technetium Tc99m Etarfolatide. The benefits of Neocepri® are its ability to reduce the background activity observed on single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging in most normal, nontarget tissues (e.g. intestines, liver, kidney, spleen), thereby improving the image quality of the scans. The product had been granted orphan drug designation in the EU. Endocyte had filed a conditional marketing authorization application (CMA) with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Neocepri®.

Gavinostat is an orally bioavailable hydroxymate inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities. Gavinostat inhibits class I and class II HDACs, resulting in an accumulation of highly acetylated histones, followed by the induction of chromatin remodeling and an altered pattern of gene expression. At low, nonapoptotic concentrations, this agent inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and interferon-gamma. It is currently in phase 2 trials for Myeloproliferative disorders, Polycythaemia vera and Phase III for Duchenne muscular dystrophy announced. In clinical trials of givinostat as a salvage therapy for advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, the most common adverse reactions were fatigue, mild diarrhea or abdominal pain, moderate thrombocytopenia, and mild leukopenia.
Sulopenem is a thiolanylthiopenem derivative patented by American multinational pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer Inc as an antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Sulopenem showed concentration-dependent bactericidal activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. Morphological observation using a phase-contrast microscope revealed that sulopenem induced spherical cell formation with E. coli and K. pneumoniae at lower concentrations and bacteriolysis at higher concentrations. Therapeutic efficacies of sulopenem against systemic infections in mice were almost equal to those of imipenem against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Vorasidenib (also known as AG 881) was developed as an isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) type 1 in the cytoplasm and type 2 in the mitochondria, with potential antineoplastic activity. It is known that IDH is an essential enzyme for cellular respiration in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are homodimeric enzymes that catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Vorasidenib participated in phase I clinical trials in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies and in gliomas.
Elafibranor (GFT505) is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ. GFT505 has an active metabolite, GFT1007, and both have potent agonist activity for PPAR-a and to a lesser extent for PPAR-d. Elafibranor improves insulin sensitivity, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism and reduces inflammation. Elafibranor (GFT505) reverses nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to prevent fibrosis progression. With an outstanding safety and tolerance profile, elafibranor provides NASH patients with needed cardio-protective benefits. Elafibranor is currently being evaluated in the clinical Phase 3 study RESOLVE-IT. The safety profile of GFT505 from the completed clinical trials appears satisfactory with no indication of PPAR-g agonist effects such as edema or body weight gain.

Landiolol (Onoact) is an intravenously administered, ultra short-acting β1-blocker with an elimination half-life of 3-4 min and ≈8-fold greater cardioselectivity than esmolol in vitro. It is approved in Japan for the treatment of intraoperative and postoperative tachyarrhythmias, but in clinical practice is also used to prevent postoperative tachyarrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting. Randomized controlled trials in patients undergoing open-heart surgery demonstrated that various dosages of landiolol (0.0005-0.04 mg/kg/min) [0.5-40 μg/kg/min] were more effective than diltiazem in converting postoperative atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm during the first 8 h after surgery, and were more effective than placebo (or no landiolol) in preventing the development of atrial fibrillation during the first week after surgery (primary efficacy endpoints). Landiolol was generally well tolerated in clinical trials, with a relatively low risk of hypotension and bradycardia, although routine monitoring of cardiac function during landiolol administration is important. In general, adverse events such as reduced blood pressure resolve quickly after discontinuation of landiolol. Thus, as an ultra short-acting β1-blocker with a rapid onset of action and readily titratable and rapidly reversible effects, landiolol represents an important agent for the management of intraoperative and postoperative tachyarrhythmias.
MBX-8025 (Seladelpar) is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta. MBX-8025 improves insulin sensitivity and reverses dyslipidemia and hepatic storage of lipotoxic lipids to improve nonalcoholic steatohepatitis pathology in atherogenic diet-fed obese diabetic mice. MBX-8025 improves lipoprotein subfractions associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia. CymaBay Therapeutics is developing MBX-8025 for the treatment of patients with the autoimmune liver disease, primary biliary cholangitis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
Momelotinib (CYT387) is an ATP-competitive small molecule that potently inhibits JAK1/JAK2 kinases. Momelotinib is developing by Gilead Sciences for the oral treatment of pancreatic and non-small cell lung cancers, and myeloproliferative disorders (including myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythaemia and polycythaemia vera).
