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
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
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]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
