The term folic acid was first introduced by Mitchell et al (1) in 1941. It is used variously to refer to a specific compound (Figure 1) or to a general family of conjugated pterins and pteridines possessing folate biological activity. The parent compound illustrated in Figure 1 is composed of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpteridine, p-aminobenzoic acid, and L-glutamic acid (2) and is also referred to as pteroylglutamic acid.
