Product Description

Mycophenolic acid (Mycophenolate) is an approved immunosuppressant drug used for preventing rejection in organ transplantation.It prevents an enzyme required for the development of T cells and B cells. To increase the orally bioavailable bioavailability, it was first marketed as the prodrug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Microbial Metabolite; Human Endogenous Metabolite
ln Vitro
Numerous RNA viruses, such as the hantavirus, rotavirus, CCHFV, dengue virus, influenza, and Zika virus, are susceptible to the antiviral actions of mycophenolic acid [1]. The virus's rate-limiting enzyme is called IMPDH. On endothelial cells and fibroblasts, de novo mycophenolate mofetil (0.01-1 μM; 72 hours) shows selective antiproliferative action. The most susceptible cells to mycophenolic acid therapy are endothelial cells, and the antimitotic action of this compound has an IC50 < synthesis [2]. In comparison to endothelial cells, fibroblasts have a greater IC50 (<1 μM) for mycophenolic acid-induced cell cycle inhibition. A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells, 500 nM, are two human tumor cell lines [2]. and PC3 cadavers had IC50 >1 μM and modest body weight. Up to 1 μM of MPA therapy does not affect U87 astrocytes [2]. Mycophenolic acid on HDAC2 (0.05–2 μM; 18 hours)
ln Vivo
Mycophenolic acid regulates the tumor microenvironment to greatly limit the formation of U87 tumors in BALB/c nude mice [2].
Cell Assay
cell proliferation assay [2]
Cell Types: primary isolated human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMVEC), fibroblasts, U87 glioblastoma cells, PC3 prostate cancer In cells, A549 non- and MYC exhibit debt invoicing, which is upregulated by NDRG1[2]. Small cell lung cancer cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.01, 0.1, 1 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: demonstrated preferential anti-proliferative activity on HDMVEC and fibroblasts. U87 glioblastoma cells were resistant to treatment, whereas A549 non-small cell lung cancer and PC3 prostate cancer cells demonstrated intermediate sensitivity.

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: HDMVEC
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2 μM
Incubation Duration: 18 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Shows dose-dependent regulation of HDAC2, MYC and NDRG1.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Athymic 8weeks old, 20 g BALB/c nu/nu mycophenolic acid-bearing mouse drug-resistant human U87 tumor model [2]
Doses: 120 mg/kg MMF (mycophenolate mofetil prodrug) Mode of
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); bid
Experimental Results: Compared with control mice, MMF (mycophenolate mofetil prodrug) Dramatically inhibited tumor growth in MMF-treated mice (approximately 14 days after tumor implantation) 70%). Microvessel density (CD31 staining) and pericyte coverage measured by α-smooth muscle actin staining were Dramatically diminished in MMF-treated tumors compared with control tumors (44% and 78%, respectively).

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
