Mycophenolate Mofetil

Mycophenolate mofetil is a prodrug form of mycophenolic acid (Cay-21716). It is converted to mycophenolic acid via carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) and CES2. Mycophenolate mofetil (1 and 10 µg/ml) inhibits thymidine incorporation in primary rat aortic smooth muscle cells. In vivo, mycophenolate mofetil (12.5 mg/kg) increases the duration of transplant motor activity in a rabbit model of retroperitoneal heterotopic heart transplantation. It eliminates formation of microbleeds and hemorrhages in the cerebrum of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg. Mycophenolate mofetil (60 mg/kg) also lowers mean arterial pressure (MAP) and reduces urinary albumin excretion and glomerulosclerosis, markers of renal damage, in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Formal Name: 6-(1,3-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-isobenzofuranyl)-4-methyl-4E-hexenoic acid, 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl ester.
