Mycophenolic acid (24280-93-1) is an immunomodulator1 that blocks the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides via inhibition of inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase. This in turn suppresses the production of proinflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide and LDH in macrophages2,3. Inhibits IL-2 -dependent T cell proliferation4.
