Mycophenolic Acid is a small molecule that can be found in fermentation products from several Penicillium species. Mycophenolic Acid functions as a potent reversible inhibitor of IMPDH (inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase), leading to a depletion of GMP in the cell and interruption of the de novo synthesis of purines necessary for lymphocyte proliferation. Its role as a selective inhibitor makes it useful in agricultural research, particularly in studying plant-pathogen interactions and developing strategies for crop protection. In environmental science, mycophenolic acid′s effects on cellular processes can be applied to the study of microbial communities and the control of invasive fungal species.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DongDong, S. et al. (PubMed 26293053) investigated whether mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), an immunosuppressant, and its metabolite mycophenolic acid (MPA) influence the activity of liver resident natural killer (NK) cells, resulting in increased susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Found that MPA and MMF mediate down-regulation of NKG2D in vitro and vivo, restricting the cytotoxic capacity of NK cells. -SCBT Publication Review
