Leucovorin calcium（Cat No.:A001093）is a form of folinic acid used to enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of certain chemotherapy drugs, particularly methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). It works by rescuing healthy cells from the harmful effects of methotrexate, which inhibits folic acid metabolism. When combined with 5-FU, leucovorin stabilizes the drug’s binding to the enzyme thymidylate synthase, enhancing its cancer-killing effects. Leucovorin calcium is also used to treat certain types of anemia caused by folic acid deficiency. It plays a key role in supportive cancer care.
