## Abstract Folic acid plays a key role in nucleic acid biosynthesis, essential for normal cell proliferation and function. Localized folate deficiencies may be related to changes in cytology associated with cancer development; analogs of folic acid, such as methotrexate, are potent chemotherapeuti

✦ Synopsis
Pteroylglutamic acid was labeled with deuterium by trifluoroacetic acid-catalyzed exchange with deuterium oxide.
The product, pteroylglutamic acid-3',5'-H2, was selectively labeled with deuterium in the 4-aminobenzoyl portion of the molecule; there was no evidence for isotope incorporation at C or C of the pteridine ring or at the glutamate residue. Isotope composition of the pteroylglutamates was determined by chemical ionization mass spectrometry following a base-catalyzed, oxidative cleavage to either 4-aminobenzoic acid or 4-aminobenzoyl-2 7 9 glutamic acid.
contained 1% Ho, 9% H1, and 90% H isotopic species.
