Beschreibung

Mycophenolic acid lactone (MPA) is an analytical standard for HPLC, used as a reference material in drug development. It is also a metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid, which are used to treat immunodeficiency disorders. MPA is not active by itself but it can be converted into the active form, mycophenolic acid, by esterases. MPA has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activities and can inhibit the production of prostaglandins in animals. Mycophenolic acid lactone is a metabolite of drugs that are used for the treatment of immunodeficiency disorders, such as mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid. The chemical structure of MPA is closely related to that of these drugs and it has been shown to have similar anti-inflammatory properties in animal studies.
