Mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate mofetil (CAS: 128794-94-5, C23H31NO7) is an immunomodulatory compound with a molecular weight of 433.49 g/mol. It functions as a prodrug, metabolising into mycophenolic acid, a potent inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase. This action selectively suppresses T- and B-lymphocyte proliferation, making it a key agent in immune system regulation. It is primarily employed in research settings for immunological studies and related cell signalling investigations.
