Stability of Mycophenolic Acid and Mycophenolic Acid Glucuronide in Human Plasma [PDF]
Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), is being used increasingly in immunosuppressant therapy after solid organ transplantation (1)(2)(3). Its immunosuppressive activity is thought to reside in the inhibition of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), leading to a suppression of purine nucleotide synthesis ...

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Extinction of hepatitis C virus by ribavirin in hepatoma cells involves lethal mutagenesis. [PDF]
Lethal mutagenesis, or virus extinction produced by enhanced mutation rates, is under investigation as an antiviral strategy that aims at counteracting the adaptive capacity of viral quasispecies, and avoiding selection of antiviral-escape mutants.

Compartmentalized biosynthesis of mycophenolic acid [PDF]
Significance Here, we elucidate the full biosynthetic pathway of the fungal natural product mycophenolic acid (MPA). Besides the intriguing enzymatic mechanisms, we reveal that the MPA biosynthetic enzymes are elegantly compartmentalized; the oxygenase MpaB′ is the long-sought enzyme responsible for initiating the oxidative cleavage of the ...
