DescriptionModufolin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydrofolic acids. These are heterocyclic compounds based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroic acid skeleton conjugated with at least one L-glutamic acid unit. Modufolin is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Modufolin exists in both E. coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
