Mycophenolic acid (mycophenolate) is an immunosuppressant agent used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. Mycophenolic acid (mycophenolate) is derived from the fungus Penicillium stoloniferum. Mycophenolate mofetil is metabolised in the liver to the active moiety mycophenolic acid. Mycophenolic acid (mycophenolate) inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, the enzyme that controls the rate of synthesis of guanine monophosphate in the de novo pathway of purine synthesis used in the proliferation of B and T lymphocytes. Mycophenolic acid (mycophenolate) is potent and can be used in place of the older anti-proliferative azathioprine. Mycophenolic acid (mycophenolate) is usually used as part of a three-compound regimen of immunosuppressants, also including a calcineurin inhibitor (ciclosporin or tacrolimus) and prednisolone.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

| Belatacept
Belatacept (BMS 224818) is a fusion protein composed of the Fc fragment of a human IgG1 immunoglobulin linked to the extracellular domain of CTLA-4, which is a molecule crucial in the regulation of T cell costimulation, selectively blocking the process of T-cell activation. Belatacept binds to CD 80/86 ligands and thereby inhibits the CD-28-mediated T-cell costimulation. Belatacept can be used in the research of Immunosuppression in organ transplants. |
| MK-4830
MK-4830 is a novel, first-in-class human IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting the myeloid-specific ILT4 (immunoglobulin-like transcript 4) receptor. MK-4830 catalyzes reprogramming of tumour-associated macrophages, relieving myelosuppression and enhancing T cell function. |
