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.

Antiviral and Cytotoxic Effects of Mycophenolic Acid
Mycophenolic acid, produced by various species of the genus Penicillium, has been shown to have both antibacterial and antifungal properties (see Korzybski, Kowszyk-Gindifer & Kurylowicz 1967). Mycophenolic acid was found to be antiviral in tissue culture. The Agar Diffusion Test (Herrmann et al. 1960) was employed, using 100 µg. per well.

Sustained suppression of enterohepatic circulation of mycophenolic acid by antimicrobial‐associated diarrhea in a kidney transplant recipient with Crohn's disease: A case report [PDF]
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) undergoes enterohepatic circulation. A kidney transplant patient on mycophenolate mofetil was treated with tazobactam/piperacillin for pyelonephritis, and developed antimicrobial‐associated diarrhea.

Mycophenolic Acid Is a Potent Inhibitor of Angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is necessary for the vascularization of a tumor, providing essential nourishment for tumor growth, and the progression and metastasis of cancer cells.1 Although tremendous efforts and resources have been dedicated to discovering angiogenesis inhibitors, very few candidates have been approved by FDA for therapeutic applications. Currently,
