Mycophenolic acid, 98%

Description

CAS: 24280-93-1 | C17H20O6 | 320.341 g/mol

It is used as a small molecule IMPDH inhibitor. mycophenolic Acid is used as an immunosuppressive agent with antiviral and antitumor effects. It potently inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, thus inhibiting de novo GTP synthesis leading to decreased RNA and DNA synthesis. It also reversibly inhibits proliferation of T and B lymphocytes and antibody formation.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
