Mycophenolic acid is an immunosuppressive agent that inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, thereby blocking de novo guanosine nucleotide synthesis in T and B lymphocytes. It is used for the prevention of rejection in organ transplantation, particularly in kidney, heart, and liver transplants. The drug is approved and widely used today, often as the active metabolite of the prodrug mycophenolate mofetil.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters of mycophenolic acid after oral administration of mycophenolate mofetil (1000 mg) in healthy adult volunteers.
