Mycophenolate mofetil

Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to the alternate CAS RN 115007-34-6, and mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride (CAS RN 116680-01-4). Mycophenolate mofetil is a 2-morpholinoethyl ester of mycophenolic acid used to prevent organ rejection in patients who have received kidney, heart, and liver transplants. Mycophenolate mofetil is an immunosuppressant. It converts mycophenolic acid (MPA), a selective noncompetitive and reversible inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in de novo guanosine nucleotide synthesis. Because immune cells, unlike other cells, rely on monophosphate dehydrogenase to proliferate, inhibition of this enzyme reduces the immune reaction and lessens graft rejection. MPA has potent cytostatic effects on lymphocytes and inhibits proliferative responses of T- and Blymphocytes to both mitogenic and allospecific stimulation. MPA also suppresses antibody formation by B-lymphocytes. MPA prevents the glycosylation of lymphocyte and monocyte glycoproteins that are involved in intercellular adhesion to endothelial cells and may inhibit recruitment of leukocytes into sites of inflammation and graft rejection.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

OEL Fastrac monographs are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet the requirements for PDEs (ADEs) contained in the EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012), as well as PIC/S and ANVISA requirements, and to obtain the following information:

  • The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
  • A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
  • An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
