Myfortic Information

Myfortic (Mycophenolic Acid) is used to prevent organ rejection in people who have received kidney transplants. It is also commonly used (sometimes as first-line therapy) for the treatment of lupus nephritis. It may also be used in the management of other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and certain refractory inflammatory skin or eye disorders. Its active ingredient, mycophenolic acid, is an immunosuppressant, specifically an antimetabolite or an IMPDH inhibitor. Myfortic acts as a potent, reversible inhibitor of the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase. By blocking this enzyme, Myfortic selectively starves the hyperactive immune cells of the building blocks needed for DNA replication, effectively stopping the expansion of the immune response that would otherwise attack the body or a transplanted organ.

In renal transplantation, the body’s immune system recognizes the donor kidney as a foreign organ, triggering a host-versus-graft response in which lymphocytes infiltrate and damage the new organ. Myfortic helps prevent these lymphocytes from multiplying and mounting an attack, thereby ensuring the survival of the transplanted organ. For lupus nephritis, an aggressive manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the immune system deposits immune complexes in the kidney's filtering units, causing severe inflammation and potential organ failure. Here, this medication reduces this overactive antibody production and the recruitment of inflammatory cells into the renal tissue. In broader autoimmune conditions like vasculitis or myasthenia gravis, where the body loses self-tolerance, Myfortic calms and suppresses the immune system, reducing the chronic inflammation and tissue destruction that underlie these diseases, often allowing for a reduction in long-term steroid use.
