 By: Natalie Korth

2 Folic Acid This acid is essential for many bodily functions including:
DNA synthesis, repair, methylation Aiding in rapid cell division and growth Molecular Formula: C19H19N7O6 Molar Mass: g/mol Appearance: Yellow-orange crystal powder Melting Point: 250 oC

3 Methotrexate Closely related to folic acid, is an "antifolate"
It is used in treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease’s, and for medical abortions.  Molecular Formula: C20H22N8O5   Molar Mass: g/mol  Melting Point: 195 oC
