NCIt definition : An antineoplastic antibiotic derived from various Penicillium fungal species. Mycophenolic
acid is an active metabolite of the prodrug mycophenolate mofetil. Mycophenolic acid
inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), preventing the formation of
guanosine monophosphate and synthesis of lymphocyte DNA that results in inhibition
of lymphocyte proliferation, antibody production, cellular adhesion, and migration
of T and B lymphocytes. Mycophenolic acid also has antibacterial, antifungal, and
antiviral activities. (NCI04);
