🔬 Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionRapidly absorbed after oral administration; absolute bioavailability is approximately 94% for mycophenolic acid (MPA).

DistributionVolume of distribution is about 3.6 L/kg; distributes widely into body tissues.

Protein Binding97% bound to albumin (MPA).

MetabolismMetabolized by esterases to active metabolite MPA; further glucuronidated to inactive MPAG.

Half-LifeApproximately 17.9 hours (MPA).

ExcretionPrimarily excreted in urine as MPAG (87%); small amount in feces.

Bioavailability94% (MPA).

Onset of ActionNot well-defined; immunosuppressive effects occur within days to weeks.

Peak Plasma Time0.5-1.5 hours (MPA).

Duration of ActionDosing interval (twice daily) maintains therapeutic levels.

How It Works

Inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), blocking de novo purine synthesis in lymphocytes.

Mechanism Steps

1Mycophenolate mofetil is rapidly hydrolyzed to active metabolite mycophenolic acid (MPA).

2MPA reversibly inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH).

3Inhibition of IMPDH depletes guanosine nucleotides preferentially in T and B lymphocytes.
