Notes: Mycophenolate mofetil-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of mycophenolate mofetil (Item No. 13988) by GC- or LC-MS. Mycophenolate mofetil is a prodrug form of mycophenolic acid (Item No. 21716).{37581,37582,37583} It is converted to mycophenolic acid via carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) and CES2.{57837} Mycophenolate mofetil (1 and 10 µg/ml) inhibits thymidine incorporation in primary rat aortic smooth muscle cells.{63370} In vivo, mycophenolate mofetil (12.5 mg/kg) increases the duration of transplant motor activity in a rabbit model of retroperitoneal heterotopic heart transplantation.{37581} It eliminates formation of microbleeds and hemorrhages in the cerebrum of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg.{37582} Mycophenolate mofetil (60 mg/kg) also lowers mean arterial pressure (MAP) and reduces urinary albumin excretion and glomerulosclerosis, markers of renal damage, in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).{37583}
