&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Levomefolic acid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ([[International Nonproprietary Name|INN]], also known as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;L-5-MTHF&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;-methylfolate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;-5-methyltetrahydrofolate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(6&amp;#039;&amp;#039;S&amp;#039;&amp;#039;)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(6&amp;#039;&amp;#039;S&amp;#039;&amp;#039;)-5-MTHF&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is the primary biologically active form of [[folate]] used at the cellular level for [[DNA]] reproduction, the [[cysteine]] cycle and the regulation of [[homocysteine]]. It is also the form found in circulation and transported across membranes into tissues and across the [[blood–brain barrier]]. In the cell, &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;-methylfolate is used in the [[methylation]] of homocysteine to form [[methionine]] and [[tetrahydrofolate]] (THF). THF is the immediate acceptor of one carbon unit for the synthesis of [[thymidine]]-DNA, [[purine]]s (RNA and DNA) and methionine. The un-methylated form, [[folic acid]] (vitamin B&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;9&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;), is a synthetic form of folate, and must undergo enzymatic reduction by [[dihydrofolate reductase]] (DHFR) to become biologically active.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is synthesized in the absorptive cells of the small intestine from polyglutamylated dietary folate. It is a methylated derivative of tetrahydrofolate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Levomefolic acid is generated by [[methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase]] (MTHFR) from [[5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate]] (MTHF) and used to recycle homocysteine back to methionine by [[methionine synthase]] (MS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;-Methylfolate is water-soluble and primarily excreted via the kidneys. In a study of 21 subjects with coronary artery disease, peak plasma levels were reached in one to three hours following oral or [[parenteral]] administration. Peak concentrations were found to be more than seven times higher than folic acid (129 [[Nanogram|ng]]/ml vs. 14.1&amp;amp;nbsp;ng/ml).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Metabolism==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MTHFR metabolism.svg|center|thumb|650px|MTHFR metabolism: folate cycle, methionine cycle, trans-sulfuration and [[hyperhomocysteinemia]]. [[5-MTHF]]: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate; 5,10-methyltetrahydrofolate; [[Bcl-2-associated X protein|BAX]]: Bcl-2-associated X protein; [[BHMT]]: betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase; [[cystathionine beta synthase|CBS]]: cystathionine beta synthase; [[cystathionine gamma-lyase|CGL]]: cystathionine gamma-lyase; [[dihydrofolate|DHF]]: dihydrofolate (vitamin B9); [[dimethylglycine|DMG]]: dimethylglycine; [[dTMP]]: thymidine monophosphate; [[dUMP]]: deoxyuridine monophosphate; [[flavin adenine dinucleotide|FAD]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; flavine adenine dicucleotide; [[10-formyltetrahydrofolate|FTHF]]: 10-formyltetrahydrofolate; [[methionine synthase|MS]]: methionine synthase; [[MTHFR]]: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; [[S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine|SAH]]: S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; [[S-adenosyl-L-methionine|SAME]]: S-adenosyl-L-methionine; [[tetrahydrofolate|THF]]: tetrahydrofolate.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Medical uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Major depressive disorder ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research suggests that levomefolic acid (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;-methylfolate) taken with a [[First line agent|first-line]] [[antidepressant]] provides a modest [[Adjunctive therapy|adjunctive]] antidepressant effect for individuals who do not respond or have only a partial therapeutic response to [[Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor|SSRI]] or [[Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor|SNRI]] medication, and might be a more cost-effective adjunctive agent than [[Atypical antipsychotic|second-generation antipsychotics]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cardiovascular disease and cancer ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Levomefolic acid (and folic acid in turn) has been proposed for treatment of cardiovascular disease and advanced cancers such as breast and [[colorectal cancer]]s. It bypasses several metabolic steps in the body and better binds [[thymidylate synthase]] with [[FdUMP]], a metabolite of the drug [[fluorouracil]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Patent issues==&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2012, [[Merck KGaA|Merck &amp;amp; Cie]] of [[Switzerland]], [[Pamlab]] LLC (maker of [[Metanx]] and [[Cerefolin]], Neevo DHA, and Deplin), and South Alabama Medical Science Foundation (SAMSF) (the plaintiffs) filed a complaint in the [[United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas]] against four defendants: Macoven Pharmaceuticals (owned by Pernix Therapeutics), Gnosis SpA of Italy, Gnosis U.S.A and Gnosis Bioresearch Switzerland. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants infringed on several of the plaintiffs&amp;#039; patents. The Macoven products named in the suit are: &amp;quot;Vitaciric-B&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;ALZ-NAC&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;PNV DHA&amp;quot;, and l-methylfolate calcium (levomefolate calcium).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2012, the same three plaintiffs filed a complaint requesting that the [[United States International Trade Commission|International Trade Commission]] begin a {{uscsub|19|1337|}} investigation of the same four defendants. The complaint states that Gnosis&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Extrafolic-S&amp;quot; and products which are made from it, infringe upon three of their patents: {{patent|US|5997915}}, {{patent|US|6673381}}, and {{patent|US|7172778}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Formulations==&lt;br /&gt;
Levomefolate calcium, a calcium [[salt (chemistry)|salt]] of levomefolic acid is sold under the brand name Metafolin and incorporated in Deplin. Levomefolate magnesium is a magnesium salt of levomefolic acid, manufactured as DeltaFolate, a primary ingredient in EnLyte.&lt;br /&gt;
