Description

Solid


White or almost white, crystalline powder.


ChEBI: Mycophenolate mofetil is a carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation between the carboxylic acid group of mycophenolic acid and the hydroxy group of 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethanol. In the liver, it is metabolised to mycophenolic acid, an immunosuppressant for which it is a prodrug. It is widely used to prevent tissue rejection following organ transplants as well as for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases. It has a role as an immunosuppressive agent, a prodrug, an EC 1.1.1.205 (IMP dehydrogenase) inhibitor and an anticoronaviral agent. It is a gamma-lactone, a member of phenols, an ether, a carboxylic ester and a tertiary amino compound. It is functionally related to a mycophenolic acid and a 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethanol.

Mycophenolate mofetil Use and Manufacturing

It is mainly used for prevention the allograft rejection reaction upon organ transplant as mostly seen in renal transplant and also suitable in the heat, liver transplant especially for the refractory rejection reaction after the transplant. It can be combined together with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. It can also be applied to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, primary glomerulonephritis, psoriasis and some other autoimmune diseases. Apply oral administration in kidney transplant; initial dose: 2~3mg/kg per day, maintenance dose: 1~2mg/ kg per day and take in 2 to 3 times. The dose can be adjusted according to specific condition. Rheumatoid arthritis: 300 mg daily.


Inhibitor of nucleic acid synthesis; immunomodulator.


Mycophenolate Mofetil is an intermediate in the synthesis of (4Z)-Mycophenolate Mofetil (M831455), a degradation product of Mycophenolate mofetil, an immunosuppressant.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a 2-ethyl ester derivative of mycophenolic acid (MPA). MPA is a highly effective, selective, non-competitive, and reversible inhibitor of inosine mononucleotide dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which can inhibit the classical synthesis pathway of guanine nucleotides. MPA has a highly selective effect on lymphocytes. Mycophenolate mofetil tablets are extremely effective in preventing rejection after renal transplantation and treating refractory rejection.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
