Biological Activity

Description Mycophenolic acid (Mycophenolate, RS-61443) is a potent IMPDH inhibitor and the active metabolite of an immunosuppressive drug, used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation.
Targets
IMPDH [1]
In vitro Mycophenolic acid inhibits inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) by acting as a replacement for the nicotinamide portion of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactor and a catalytic water molecule. [1] Mycophenolic acid (MPA), an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, in nanomolar concentrations blocks proliferative responses of cultured human, mouse and rat T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes to mitogens or in mixed lymphocyte reactions. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) suppresses mixed lymphocyte reactions when added 3 days after their initiation. Mycophenolic acid also inhibits antibody formation by polyclonally activated human B lymphocytes. Mycophenolic acid is an immunosuppressive agent reversibly inhibiting proliferation of T and B lymphocytes and antibody formation, with a profile of activity different from that of other immunosuppressive drugs. [2] Mycophenolic acid inhibits the formation of antibodies to sheep erythrocytes. Mycophenolic acid also suppresses, in a dose-related manner, the generation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes against allogeneic cells in mice and prevents the elimination of allogeneic cells. [3] Mycophenolic acid induces apoptosis and cell death in a large proportion of activated CD4+ T cells. [4]
In vivo Mycophenolic acid has lymphocyte-selective anti-proliferative effects in mice and can inhibit both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses without major side effects. [3]
