How It Works

Leucovorin is a reduced form of folic acid that bypasses dihydrofolate reductase inhibition, providing exogenous folate for DNA synthesis and repair.

Mechanism Steps

1Leucovorin is converted to active folate cofactors (e.g., 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate).
2These cofactors are required for thymidylate synthase activity in DNA synthesis.
3In methotrexate toxicity, leucovorin provides exogenous reduced folate, bypassing dihydrofolate reductase inhibition.
