• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: (Z)-Mycophenolic acid is an immunosuppressive agent derived from the fermentation of fungi, primarily from the Penicillium species. It functions by inhibiting inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), an enzyme crucial for de novo purine synthesis. This selective blockade of IMPDH specifically affects lymphocyte proliferation due to their heavy reliance on this pathway for DNA synthesis, thereby exerting its immunosuppressive effects.
