Scientific Evidence
- Mycophenolate sodium is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid, which inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, a crucial enzyme for the de novo synthesis of guanosine nucleotides. This action suppresses T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte proliferation, reducing the immune response against transplanted organs.
- Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of mycophenolate sodium in preventing organ rejection in transplant recipients. A study by Nashan et al. (2009) showed that mycophenolate sodium was well-tolerated and effective in renal transplant patients, with a low incidence of acute rejection episodes.
