Abstract:
Incubation of pteroylglutamic acid (PGA) (folic acid) with liver slices leads to the formation of a diazotizable amine; this reaction is inhibited by aminopterin. Incubation of synthetic citrovorum factor (CF) with liver homogenate results in amine formation, and the reaction is not inhibited by aminopterin. The data indicate that PGA is converted to CF which in turn is cleaved to a diazotizable amine. This cleavage reaction is strongly inhibited by ascorbic acid.The urinary excretion of diazotizable amine by rats is proportional to the dose of injected PGA or CF. The magnitude of the amine excretion suggests that cleavage to a diazotizable amine is a pathway of importance for the metabolic disposal of CF.
