Metagenomics Combined with Activity-Based Proteomics Point to Gut Bacterial Enzymes that Reactivate Mycophenolate

2022-05-23

Abstract excerpt

Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) is an important immunosuppressant prodrug prescribed to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat autoimmune diseases. MMF usage, however, is limited by severe gastrointestinal toxicity that is observed in approximately 45% of MMF recipients. The active form of the drug, mycophenolic acid (MPA), undergoes extensive enterohepatic recirculation by bacterial β-glucuronidase (GUS) enz...
