“…It has long been known that florid folate deficiency causes a defect in DNA synthesis, leading to megaloblastic macrocytic anemia. Now, Ͼ55 years after the discovery and synthesis of folate, 1 it is recognized that more discrete deficiency of this essential nutrient is also associated with an increased risk of morbidity unrelated to anemia.…”

“…42,43 Wills' discovery of what would come to be known as folate or folic acid set off a competitive search among several pharmaceutical research laboratories to isolate and synthesize it. 44,45 A team led by Yellapragada SubbaRow (1895 -1948) at the American Cyanamid Company identified folic acid's structure and was the first to synthesize it, 46,47 and several early animal studies of folic acid's effects on tumor growth indicated that it might induce tumor regression. 48,49 Sidney Farber (then assistant professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and pathologist-in-chief at the Children's Medical Center Boston), Louis Diamond (assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a hematologist and physician at the Children's Medical Center), and their three research assistants administered folic acid from SubbaRow's laboratory to 90 patients with late-stage cancers, including acute leukemia.…”
