Cobalamines

Cobalamines (more commonly referred to as cobalamins or vitamin B12 compounds) constitute a class of cobalt-containing corrinoid compounds and essential water-soluble vitamins, including cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and methylcobalamin Therapeutically, they function as essential cofactors in enzymatic reactions required for cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the maintenance of nervous system myelination Agents in this class are indicated primarily to prevent and ...

Therapeutically, they function as essential cofactors in enzymatic reactions required for cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the maintenance of nervous system myelination Agents in this class are indicated primarily to prevent and treat vitamin B12 deficiency states, such as pernicious anemia, post-gastrectomy or malabsorption-related deficiencies, and associated megaloblastic anemias or subacute combined degeneration, with specific parenteral forms such as hydroxocob...

Therapeutically, they function as essential cofactors in enzymatic reactions required for cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the maintenance of nervous system myelination

Agents in this class are indicated primarily to prevent and treat vitamin B12 deficiency states, such as pernicious anemia, post-gastrectomy or malabsorption-related deficiencies, and associated megaloblastic anemias or subacute combined degeneration, with specific parenteral forms such as hydroxocobalamin also utilized as antidotes for cyanide toxicity
