Mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride  (Synonyms: RS 61443 hydrochloride; TM-MMF hydrochloride)

Cat. No.: HY-B0199A Purity: 99.17%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Mycophenolate mofetil (RS 61443; TM-MMF) hydrochloride is an orally active antimetabolic immunosuppressant with antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. Mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride significantly inhibits the production of B, T lymphocytes and the proliferation of smooth muscle cells by selectively blocking the de novo purine synthesis pathway. Mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride effectively reduces adventitial inflammation, medial necrosis and intimal thickening in rat aortic allografts, and decreases the number of lymphocytes expressing the IL-2 receptor, thereby delaying xenograft rejection. Mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride shows certain toxicity in a hamster-to-rat limb xenotransplantation model when used in combination with FK506 (HY-13756). Mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride is widely used in studies related to allograft arteriosclerosis (chronic rejection).

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.64 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.64 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
