Deutsch: Antifolatmittel / Español: Agente antifolato / Português: Agente antifolato / Français: Agent antifolate / Italiano: Agente antifolato
Antifolate agents are a class of chemical compounds that interfere with the metabolism of folate, a vital nutrient required for DNA synthesis and cell division. These agents are widely used in industrial applications, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors. The antifolate agent mechanism involves inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), which is crucial for the production of tetrahydrofolate (THF), a form of folate necessary for cell proliferation.

Deutsch: Aktiviertes Aluminiumoxid, Español: Alúmina activada, Português: Alumina ativada, Français: Alumine activée, Italiano: Allumina attivata
Activated Alumina is a highly porous, granular form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) produced by heating aluminum hydroxide to create a material with a vast internal surface area. In the industrial context, it is primarily used as a desiccant (drying agent), a selective adsorbent (purifier), and a catalyst/catalyst support due to its high surface area-to-weight ratio, high crush strength, and chemical stability. It is a critical component in separation and purification processes across high-value industries.
