Application

Mycophenolate mofetil has been used to treat wild-type embryos for inhibiting nucleotide synthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mycophenolate mofetil functions as a rate-limiting enzyme in de novo synthesis of guanosine nucleotides.
Mycophenolate mofetil is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid (Cat. # M5255) that is cleaved by nonspecific esterases in vivo to produce the parent compound. Mycophenolic acid blocks inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase and is a potent immunosuppresive agent.
