AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) is an oral immunosuppressant that selectively inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase to block de novo guanosine nucleotide synthesis in lymphocytes. It is used primarily for organ transplant rejection prophylaxis and has extensive off-label use in autoimmune conditions. The mechanism shifts T and B lymphocytes from proliferation to anergy through suppression of Akt/mTOR and STAT5 pathways, preventing graft rejection.
