Mycophenolic Acid: Use and Commercial Availability
Mycophenolic acid is a medication primarily used in immunosuppression to prevent organ rejection in patients undergoing organ transplantation. It works by suppressing the activity of the immune system, reducing the risk of the body attacking and rejecting the transplanted organ. Mycophenolic acid also treats autoimmune diseases, such as lupus nephritis and vasculitis.
Mycophenolic Acid is available under the brand name, Myfortic, which contains the active ingredient Mycophenolic Acid.
Mycophenolic Acid Structure and Mechanism of Action
The chemical name of Mycophenolic Acid is (4E)-6-(1,3-Dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-isobenzofuranyl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoic acid. Its chemical formula is C17H20O6, and its molecular weight is approximately 320.3 g/mol.
Mycophenolic Acid inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH).
Mycophenolic Acid Impurities and Synthesis
Mycophenolic Acid impurities can arise during synthesis1 due to the storage or use of specific raw materials and intermediates in manufacturing. These impurities encompass related compounds, degradation products, and process impurities. Stringent quality control measures and analytical methods are crucial to ensure the purity and safety of Mycophenolic Acid for patient use.
Daicel Pharma provides a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Mycophenolic Acid impurity standards, such as Mycophenolate Mofetil Related impurity, Mycophenolic Acid (Mycophenolate sodium), Mycophenolic Acid O-Desmethyl Methyl Ester, and Mycophenolic Hydroxy lactone. The CoA includes detailed characterization data such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity2. Additionally, upon delivery, a complete 13C-DEPT is also provided. Daicel Pharma possesses the technology and expertise to synthesize any unknown Mycophenolic Acid impurity or degradation product.
